@Arch_Revival_ I was @ChatsworthHouse last Summer, the staff were exemplary, and so friendly, which I take to reflect the attitude of the Duke & Duchess Devonshire. Attitude tends to emanate from the top down, and the house and grounds are kept tip top. Well recommended for a visit. https://t.co/mU8U0M8Eb2

“Originally, in the novel, this scene takes place in a 🖼 gallery & she sees a painting of Darcy. When we went to @ChatsworthHouse, we saw this sculpture gallery & decided it would be more interesting to have Darcy as a 3D sculpture rather than just a flat painting.” - #JoeWright https://t.co/kvrBqNXDi3
