Abstract
This paper presents data on air temperature and relative humidity collected at Hardwick Hall between July 2018 and August 2019. By reference to historic weather records of the climate of the Elizabethan period and consideration of the changes that have been made to the fabric of the building it is possible to recreate a picture of the environment of the house at the time of its construction. The monitored data have been input into a model of the effect of the fireplaces and windows in promoting thermal comfort in key spaces of the house. This allows us to build a more complete description of the inhabitation of the house, informed by contemporary records of building accounts and inventories. The outcome is to provide a new understanding of the environment of the house through the combination of modern building science and architectural history.
