Description
The largest and grandest house of the first Elizabethan age, Burghley was built between 1555 and 1587 for Sir William Cecil, later 1st Baron Burghley, Lord High Treasurer to Queen Elizabeth I. 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.
The house is one of the principal examples of 16th century English Elizabethan architecture and also has a suite of rooms remodelled in the baroque style. The main part of the house has 35 major rooms on the ground and first floors. There are more than 80 lesser rooms and numerous halls, corridors, bathrooms and service areas.
Fiori Musicali are one of the UK’s principal providers of baroque and classical music outside London.
