The Bulletin  

"The Bulletin,” Vol. 63.—N0. 3261.  

Wednesday, August 12, 1942  

Price 6d.  

Registered at the General Post Office, Sydney, N.S.W., Australia, for Transmission by Post as Newspaper

ROYAL  

PURPLE PARA  

GRAND STAIRCASE, CHATSWORTH HALL, DERBYSHIRE.  

AMONG the stately homes of England  

few can vie with Chatsworth Hall, the  

seat of the Duke of Devonshire, located in  

the beautiful Peak district of North Derby-  

shire. The hall stands on the left bank of  

the river Derwent, and as viewed from the  

west presents magnificent facade in fine  

relief against the wooded ridge of Bunker’s  

Hill. The building is in the lonic style, and  

the principal part is composed of four  

nearly equal sides, surrounding an open  

quadrangular court, with fountain in the  

centre. Chatsworth contains some beautiful  

wood carvings by eminent artists. The grand  

marble staircase is justly admired. There  

is rich collection of sculptured figures in  

marble from the chisels of many of the  

greatest men. In the picture gallery are  

original drawings and paintings of priceless  

value, such old masters as Titian, Rubens,  

Rosa, Raphael, Claude and Lorraine being  

well represented. The estate of Chatsworth,  

or, as it is called, the Park, is upwards of  

11 miles in circuit, and the gardens, among,  

the most celebrated in the Kingdom, cover 12  

acres. The grand conservatory, an acre in ex-  

tent, created by the great Sir Joseph Paxton,  

is unequalled by any in Europe, and the  

waterworks, which include one fountain with  

jet 260 ft. high, are not surpassed by those  

of Versailles. The domain of Chatsworth  

is mentioned in “Domesday Book” as  

Chatesvorde. In the sixteenth century the  

estate was purchased by Sir William Caven-  

dish. The mansion he erected afterwards  

served as place of confinement for Mary  

Queen of Scots from 1570 to 1581. That  

structure has entirely disappeared and the  

existing one was commenced in 1688 by the  

first Duke of Devonshire and completed in  

1840 by the seventh. For reasons that will  

be fully understood, Chatsworth in recent  

years has lost many of “the social glories  

which once were Chatsworth. How the  

present grim struggle for Empire existence  

will affect its furture remains to be seen.  

Visitors from all parts of the world when  

in England inspect this superb ducal abode,  

and the successive owners ever displayed  

willingness to view the countless treasures  

of Chatsworth and the wonderful beauties  

of the gardens and grounds to all who de-  

sired to see them, in which respect they  

displayed public-spiritedness not seen as  

possessing the owners of other great country  

seats who could be named.
