The mansion took 30 years to complete and 3 million bricks, it has a massive marble hall with a 50ft ceiling, underfloor heating and 18 columns made of alabaster from Derebyshire. The stone for the outside came 750 miles by ship from the Bath area in Somerset. Today the owner is the 8th Earl of Leicester and the house is open to the public, there are 350 staff members. There are beautiful Brussels tapestries in the sitting room and a vaulted copper ceiling in the saloon.
