Kedleston Hall is 18th century neo-classical mansion framed by historic parkland, at Kedleston, Derbyshire. The Curzon family have lived in a succession of manor houses at Kedleston since at least 1297. The present house was commissioned by Sir Nathaniel Curzon in 1759. The house was designed by the Palladian architects James Paine and Matthew Brettingham. The mediæval village of Kedleston was moved by Nathaniel Curzon to make way for the mansion. The south front and the lavish interior (1759-65) was the work of Robert Adam. The interior probably represents the most complete example of Adam's work remaining in England. The house, garden and grounds are in the care of the National Trust. The house is within the council area of Amber Valley (Derbyshire).
