History

Renishaw Hall is a stately home which dates from the 17th century. It is a Grade II listed building. It has been the home of the Sitwell family for over 350 years.

The house was built in 1625 by George Sitwell (1600-1667) who in 1653 was High Sheriff of Derbyshire. Substantial alterations and additions were made to the building by Sir Sitwell Sitwell around 1800.

The Hall is located south east of Sheffield and to the north east of Chesterfield, Derbyshire (grid reference SK436786). The present owner is Sir Reresby Sitwell, 7th Baronet Sitwell Of Renishaw. He is the eldest son of Sir Sacheverell Sitwell, who was brother of Edith and Osbert.

The notable gardens, including an Italianate style garden laid out by Sir George Sitwell (1860–1943) are open to the public. The Hall is open only for groups by private arrangement.
