More about this scene

Begun by William Cavendish, fourth Earl and later first Duke of Devonshire in 1687, the House was completed in 1706. The north wing was added between 1820-30. Royalties from the Ecton Copper Mine in the Manifold Valley enabled the House to be furnished on a lavish scale. Between 1760 and 1817 the profits from Ecton were in excess of £335,000 a year.
