Kedleston

Kedleston is a village and civil parish in Derbyshire, England, located about four miles northwest of Derby. The parish is dominated by Kedleston Hall, an 18th-century neoclassical country house on the Kedleston estate.

The hall was designed by James Paine with significant interior work by Robert Adam for the Curzon family, and built in the mid-18th century. It became the principal seat of the Curzon family, who rose to national prominence, most notably George Curzon, 1st Marquess Curzon of Kedleston, who served as Viceroy of India and later Foreign Secretary.

Kedleston Hall remains a focal point of the parish and is now administered by the National Trust, which has housed the house and much of the surrounding parkland as a public heritage property since 1946. The estate supports tours and events and continues to shape the rural character of the Kedleston area.
