Chatsworth.
"Chatsworth was included in the domain bestowed on
William Peveril by his father, William the Conqueror.
When it came into the possession of Sir William
Cavendish, he began in 1553 to build, a mansion, which
after his death was completed by his widow, "Bess of
Hardwick," at a cost of £80,000, She married the Earl of
Shrewsbury, and under their keeping Mary, Queen of
Scots, was for some time at Chatsworth."
