		Welcome from Lady Victoria Leatham
		It gives me great pleasure to welcome visitors from home and abroad to this great house. I hope that this brief introduction to Burghley, on the Internet will encourage many of you to come here in person and appreciate the breathtaking treasures of a part of our nation's history.

	This largest and grandest house of the first Elizabethan age was completed by William Cecil, Lord Burghley in 1587. Today, eighteen state rooms filled with wonderful paintings, furniture and fine art are open to visitors.
