Wollaton hall. Grade 1 Listed Elizabethan Mansion in Nottingham. 500 acres grounds. designed by Robert Smythson and built by Sir Francis Willoughby between 1580 and 1588. Built in the English Renaissance style, its central lower tower and flanking turrets are considered to be a masterpiece.

The Regency Dining Room is shown as it would have looked during the Wyattville restoration, whilst the Regency Salon is presented as it would have been in 1832 when Lady Jane Middleton was in residence. The Prospect Room is situated on top of the Great Hall with panoramic views of the city and surrounding area.
