Architectural historian Oliver Gerrish is welcomed into Tissington Hall, the historic house and home to the FitzHerbert family since the 15th century. Located five miles north of the delightful market town of Ashbourne in Derbyshire, Tissington Hall is unique in that it is one of only 300 homes in the country that can boast the fact that the descendants of the original builder still live there, 400 years later.

Sir Richard FitzHerbert, the current baronet, together with Oliver conduct a tour of the fascinating interior—from the Jacobean hall through the Georgian rooms and, finally, into the Arts and Crafts library. Join us in March for this behind-the-scenes visit followed by a lively Q&A moderated by Curt DiCamillo.
