DESCRIPTION:Hardwick Hall in Derbyshire\, built between 1590-1597\, is one
  of the greatest  houses to be built during the reign of Queen Elizabeth 1
 .  It was a collaboration between a remarkable owner\, Elizabeth\, Countes
 s of Shrewsbury\, familiarly referred to as ‘Bess of Hardwick’\, and h
 er architect Robert Smythson. The talk will outline research that has cons
 tructed a description of the environment within the house In the first yea
 rs of its inhabitation.  The work has referred to the surviving building a
 ccounts for the house\, an inventory of its contents made in 1601 and cont
 emporary descriptions of the climate of England at that date during the so
 -called ‘Little Ice Age’. It is suggested that the complex internal pl
 anning of the house within its strictly symmetrical exterior plays a key p
 art in its environmental design.\n\nDean Hawkes taught and researched at C
