Augustus Cavendish, and has remained in the ownership of the Cavendish family since. The Jacobean house was altered in 1783–84 by John Carr of York. The parkland around the house was laid out in the late 18th century. 19th century Additions to the grounds were made during the 19th century and included an arboretum, a conservatory, terraces, and a walled garden. The conservatory was a large structure designed by Joseph Paxton, but has since been demolished. The house was largely rebuilt in 1838–41 for the 7th Duke of Devonshire by George Webster of Kendal in Jacobean Revival style. In 1859–61 the Lancaster architect E. G. Paley carried out some minor alterations. 1871 Fire and rebuilding In 1871 the front (west) wing of the house was almost completely destroyed by fire. An estimated 103 works of art were lost and the more notable items were: Canaletto: Saint Mark’s Place during the Carnival Collier: A piece of wild life Holbein: a landscape Sir Godfrey Kneller: King William III; The first Duke of Devonshire in armour; The first Duchess of Devonshire, Mary, daughter of the Duke of Ormond Claude Lorrain: Two landscapes, both described as Landscape with three columns of the Temple of Jupiter Stator, story of Mercury and Battus Reade, after Sir Godfrey Kneller: Lady Lonsdale (Mary Lowther) Salvator Rosa: Two battle pieces Rosalvo: The Temple of Concord in ruins with figures Rubens: A landscape with people and cattle; Saint John David Teniers the Younger (or his father, son or grandson): Two Dutch sea pieces Peter Tillemans: St. Mary’s Abbey, Furness Jacob Isaacksz van Ruisdael (or Salomon van Ruysdael): Landscape with a cottage; Landscape with a cottage and windmill at a distance; Landscape Claude-Joseph Vernet (or his father or son): A sea piece in a fog The Duke commissioned Paley again, together with Hubert Austin, (the firm was then known as Paley and Austin) to rebuild the wing. This they did on the same footprint, but on a grander scale, adding two towers, the whole being in Elizabethan Revival style. The estimated cost of this was about £38,000 (£ as of 2014). Present use The hall continues to be the home of Lord Cavendish and his wife. The older wing is used by the family and is not open to the public. Paley and Austin's west wing and the gardens are open to the general public during the summer months, an admission
