Hardwick Hall: Power and Architecture
- Synopsis
- In many aspects Hardwick Hall is a typical, though exceptionally well preserved, Elizabethan house. In other respects it is unique; it is one of the most innovative houses of its date in Europe. The factors which influenced its design, and the personality of its owner-builder, the Countess of Shrewsbury, are examined. Robert Smythson’s architectural design is discussed.

- NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
