Burghley House is a grand 16th-century English country house near the town of Stamford in Lincolnshire. Its park was laid out by Capability Brown.

The Lincolnshire county boundary crosses between the town and the house which, in fact, is located in the ancient Soke of Peterborough, once considered part of Northamptonshire, but now in Cambridgeshire; and is administered as part of the City of Peterborough unitary authority.

Burghley was built for Sir William Cecil, later 1st Baron Burghley, who was Lord High Treasurer to Queen Elizabeth I, between 1555 and 1587 and modelled on the privy lodgings of Richmond Palace. It was subsequently the residence of his descendants, the Earls and Marquesses of Exeter, and is now owned by a charitable trust established by the family. Lady Victoria Leatham, a daughter of the 6th Marquess and a well-known antiques expert and television personality lives in the House as a Director of the Trust.

Never been to Burghley House? That may be true for some but you are likely to have seen far more of this fabulous property than you realise! It has been featured in several box office hit films and BBC productions including The Da Vinci Code and Pride & Prejudice.

Naturally we look forward to meeting new and existing customers at this our last Christmas Show of the year!
