Holme Hall is a Jacobean manor house near Bakewell, Derbyshire. The house was built on the site of a previous manor house in 1626 for Barnard Wells a wealthy lead merchant from Marple Hall. The design was influenced by Robert Smythson, who also designed Hardwick Hall. Wells left Holme Hall to his daughter Anne, and her husband Robert Eyre of nearby Highlow Hall, whose family had long been involved in lead mining. In 1658, they expanded Holme Hall with the addition of the east and west wings. Eyre also oversaw the creation of Holme’s terraced gardens, which still include the stone-built, Grade II-listed Banqueting House and Prospect House. It is within the council area of Derbyshire Dales (Derbyshire).
