Set against the beautiful backdrop of the Peak District, Tissington Hall presides over the estate which includes the typically english village of Tissington complete with quaint duck pond and village green.

The history of Tissington can be traced back as far as 1086, when it is mentioned as Tizinctun in the Domesday Book, among the possessions of Henry de Ferrers.

In the reign of Elizabeth I, Francis FitzHerbert, who was the great grandson of Nicholas, purchased it and so the Manor of Tissington became re-united and has since been home to eight generations of the FitzHerbert family.

The House has also been used for a number of film and television productions including 'The Duchess' starring Kiera Knightley.
