Everything about Lyme Park totally explained
Lyme Park is an
estate and
park near
Disley, in the county of
Cheshire,
England. The principal feature of the park is
Lyme Hall, an
Elizabethan manor house resembling an
Italianate palazzo. It is a Grade I
listed building.
Lyme was granted to the first Piers Legh and his wife Margaret by
Richard II in 1398, as a reward for heroic deeds in
battle, and by the 16th century the Leghs had made Lyme their main home. Over the next two centuries, the estate was developed further with Sir Piers Legh VII instigating an extensive rebuilding programme, and the rebuilding and renovation was continued by successive generations. During the 19th century the building was restored and altered extensively by
Lewis Wyatt, who renovated every room in some way, By the 20th century the upkeep and maintenance of Lyme had become difficult for the family, and so four years after inheriting the estate in 1942, the 3rd Lord Newton gave Lyme and the surrounding of land to the
National Trust in order to secure its future.
Trivia
Lyme Hall was used as the location for "
Pemberley", the home of
Mr. Darcy, in the 1995
BBC adaptation of
Jane Austen's novel
Pride and Prejudice.
