Elvaston Castle, Gothic Revival castle in Elvaston, England
The castle features architectural elements designed by James Wyatt, including a grand wing, great hall, and detailed Gothic-style interiors completed in 1829.
Originally belonging to Shelford Priory until 1538, the property transformed from an Elizabethan manor house into a Gothic Revival castle during the early 1800s.
The Fourth Earl and his actress wife maintained secluded gardens at the estate following the death of their son in the nineteenth century.
The Grade II listed castle requires substantial restoration work and remains closed to visitors, while the surrounding 200-acre country park welcomes the public.
William Barron spent twenty years redesigning the gardens after Capability Brown declined the project due to the flat terrain of the estate.
