Grimsthorpe Castle. By the date of this print, the 15th Baron Willoughby de Eresby and 3rd Earl Lindsey had rebuilt the north front of Grimsthorpe in the classical style. In 1715, Robert Bertie, the 16th Baron Willoughby de Eresby, employed Sir John Vanbrugh to design a baroque front to the house; it is Vanbrugh's last masterpiece. His designs for the reconstruction of the other three ranges of the house were not carried out. Nancy Astor died here in 1964.
