Description:
Elvaston Castle is a Gothic Revival castle in Derbyshire. The original Elizabethan house was redesigned and extended in a grand Gothic Revival style by James Wyatt in the early 19th century for the Charles Stanhope, 3rd Earl of Harrington. Wyatt designed a new wing, a new great hall, and most of the interiors of the castle, but died before work was completed. His designs were carried out by Robert Walker between 1815 and 1829. Further modifications were made in the 1836 by the architect Lewis Nockalls Cottingham; this work was on the Elizabethan-styled south front which was remodelled to match the rest of the now Gothic-styled castle.
From Morris, A Series Of Picturesque Views Of Seats Of The Noblemen And Gentlemen Of Great Britain And Ireland.

He died on 10 February 1893 and was buried at Nunburnholme, East Riding of Yorkshire, England.
