Stanhopes of Elvaston

Stanhopes of Elvaston. This book is a compilation of notes assembles on members of the Stanhope family who were connected with the family’s estate at Elvaston in South Derbyshire. It is the result of the curiosity of a 12 year old, who cycled along the back lane from Alvaston to Elvaston Castle, newly opened to the public in 1970, and wondered about the former inhabitants. Though it has taken many years to be attempted, the result has finally satisfied that latent curiosity.
