Kirby Hall – English Heritage

Off Kirby Lane, Corby, NN17 3EN. England

Any study of Elizabethan and Stuart England would be greatly enhanced by a visit to Kirby Hall. Even though much is now ruined it was once at the forefront of architectural design and you can easily see how grand and impressive it once was. Interior spaces have been carefully restored to reflect 17th and 18th Century décor; the display area provides a fascinating array of objects reflecting the history of the house and gardens. Interactive displays will give your students a chance to get involved in this site.

Don’t forget, if you are looking for help with funding the cost of your trip, you can apply for a bursary!
