You're standing at Burghley House, a grand sixteenth-century English country house just south of Stamford. Take a good look at the outside first. It still looks much as it did in the days of Queen Elizabeth the First. The house is one of the finest examples of Elizabethan stonework and proportion. It was built to impress, and it still does.
