Holme Hall is a Grade I listed privately owned small Jacobean Manor, built in 1626.

The house was built, on the site of a previous manor house, in 1626 for Bernard Wells a wealthy lead merchant of Marple Hall.

The Eyres held the manor until 1802 when the estate was sold under an order of Chancery to Robert Birch, who sold it in 1820 to Thomas John Gisborne, second son of Rev Thomas Gisborne of Yoxall. When Francis Gisborne died in 1881 the estate passed to his brother William Gisborne.

Holme Hall Bakewell

from the Holme Hall website –
Holme Hall is a Grade I listed manor house situated in the Peak District just outside Bakewell on rising ground on the opposite bank of the River Wye. Incorporating an earlier Tudor house, the main part of the present hall was built in 1626-1628 by Bernard Wells, a lead merchant originally from Gloucestershire. The main hall range was based on Robert Smythson’s designs for smaller Italianate villas on a square plan format. The east and west wings were built in about 1658 by his daughter Anne and her husband, Robert Eyre of Highlow Hall.

Robert Eyre was also responsible for commencing work on the terraced gardens, which include the Grade II listed banqueting house, prospect house and two-tier terraces. The second floor of the east wing of the hall has a former chapel which leads directly onto the middle garden terrace. The gardens have been restored to their original layout, facilitated by very detailed sketches and plans (including tree plantings) and a poem about the estate (which includes various references to specific flowers in the garden) from the early 18th century which are contained in the Bagshawe Collection in the Sheffield Archives.
