Brief history of site

The site at Renishaw was acquired by Robert Sytwell in the mid-16th century, and by 1600 it had become the family seat. The park was created in the late-17th to early-18th century. Christopher Alderson carried out work in the late-18th century. Sir George Sitwell (1860-1943), fourth baronet, was responsible for the layout of the formal gardens.
