Main drive to S front of Elvaston Castle rebuilt in 1817 to neo-Gothic designs by James Wyatt. The outline of a gabled end bay in red brick survives from the Jacobean house of 1633. The nine-bay E front is the work of L. N. Cottingham 1830-40. The castle is renowned for the exotic pleasure gardens created by William Barron in 1930-50 for the Fourth Earl of Harrington and his wife the former actress Maria Foote.
