Foremarke Hall

Foremarke Hall is a Georgian country house in Derbyshire with a symmetrical facade and columned portico. The building displays classical proportions with refined interior rooms decorated in period style.

The house was built between 1759 and 1762 for the Burdett family and remained their property for about 100 years. After 1947 it became a preparatory school, transforming its purpose into an educational center.

The school uses the building as a working educational space where daily routines shape how the place feels. Visitors can see the rooms where children have studied for generations.

The building is Grade I listed, meaning both interior and exterior are strictly protected from alterations. Visitors should check in advance whether access is permitted and under what conditions.

The estate was used as a filming location by the BBC in 1972 for television production. Outdoor scenes were shot on the grounds with participation from local young people.
