High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Burton Constable Hall is a large Elizabethan country house with 18th and 19th century interiors, and a fine 18th century cabinet of curiosities. The hall, a Grade I listed building, is set in a park designed by Capability Brown with an area of 300 acres (1.2 km2). It is located 3 miles (5 km) south east of the village Skirlaugh, East Riding of Yorkshire, England, approximately 9 miles (14 km) north east of the city of Hull, and has been the home of the Constable family for over 400 years. As was typical, the Elizabethan house was originally dominated by its Great Hall, which rose the full height of the building and was top-lit by a lantern. By the 18th century, the Great Hall must have seemed old fashioned, and a surviving design of circa 1730 suggests that Cuthbert Constable intended to completely remodel the interior.
