John Wright's Secret: 300 Years in Eyam Hall

Eyam Hall, built as a wedding gift in 1671, concealed a secret for three centuries. Uncover the secret of the ninth generation caretakers.

Eyam Hall, buried in Derbyshire's gritstone, began as a generous gift for John Wright and his bride Elizabeth in 1671. For three centuries, the Hall's secret past was never etched. Passed through the Wright family, it is now entrusted to the ninth generation. For over 300 years, Eyam Hall has been a family home and a wedding venue. The architecture of this manor reflects the power and prestige of the Wrights in the 17th century. The adjoining craft centre and restaurant cater to modern visitors with drinks and souvenirs. The Hall and garden are open at various times of the year.
