Edensor Village

Today was a lovely cold autumn walk through the parkland of Chatsworth, the stately jewel in Derbyshire. The blip is of 'Ensor' is part of the Chatsworth estate,  in the 1750s the 4th Duke of Devonshire asked Capability Brown to lay out the parkland surrounding Chatsworth House. Part of that remodelling of the park involved knocking down all the village houses visible from the mansion. 80 years later the 6th Duke decided to tear down the rest of the village and to rebuilt it in picturesque style on the far side of the road through the park, near the medieval parish church of St Peter. 


The extra is a view of Chatsworth House itself
