Wollaton Hall

Wollaton Hall is located in Wollaton Park in Nottingham, England. The Elizabethan country house was built in 1588 for Sir Francis Willoughby. The mansion consists of a central block with three-story square pavilions at each corner and a roof walkway. The castle sits on 500 acres that include grasslands, wetlands, and woodlands. There is a deer park on the property with 90 red deer and 120 fallow deer. The interior boasts a Tudor kitchen and the Admiral’s Bath (a cave system) in the basement, while the upper floor has the grand Prospect Room, which is accessed by a narrow, 67-step circular staircase. In 1642, the mansion suffered though fire and sat vacant until 1687, when remodeling began. In 1702, the Duchess of Chandos had statuary and the gondola mooring rings brought in from Italy. In 1801, further remodeling was done which carried on into the 1830s. By 1881, the Willoughby family still owned the mansion, but due to its proximity to the busy and smoky manufacturing town, the 8thand 9thBarons of Middleton decided to lease the house and property; by 1881 the house was vacant. In 1925, the hall was purchased by the Nottingham City Council, and by 1926, Wollaton Hall became the city’s Natural History Museum. The museum has over 750,000 objects that include fossils, plants, invertebrates, taxidermy, and more. The property also houses the Nottingham Industrial Museum in the outer buildings, and the Camellia House, which is the oldest cast-iron glasshouse in Europe. Wollaton Hall is open to the public. The property has two cafes, a shop, and kids play area. Wollaton Hall was used in the filming of the Batman movie The Dark Knight Rises.
