Edensor Architecture.
The village was purpose built by the 6th Duke of Devonshire, Joseph Paxton was tasked with finding the design, he employed an architect who created a catalogue of different house styles which was presented to the Duke, who its said could not make up his mind, so he opted for one of each.
There are 33 differently styled houses in the village.

I then recognised that it was the Duchess of Devonshire who now lives in the village.

Edensor Church
Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edensor
Edensor (pronounced /ˈɛnzər/) is a village and civil parish in Derbyshire, England. The population of the civil parish at the 2011 census was 145.
Much of the village is privately owned, by the Dukes of Devonshire, the Cavendish family. Most of the deceased of the family are buried in the churchyard of St Peter's Church.
History
A village near this location was included in the Domesday Book of 1086. At that time, it was owned by Henry de Ferrers and included ten villagers plus seven "smallholders".[2] One report describes the area in the early 1700s as: "it straggled across towards the river Derwent in front of Chatsworth, skirting the hill opposite the village known as 'The Crobbs'."[3]
In 1762 the 4th Duke of Devonshire of Chatsworth House arranged for the demolition of several buildings because they intruded on his view of the parkland that had been created by Capability Brown. In the 1800s, a new road was being built and the Duke arranged to have the rest of the village removed. A new village was constructed in a project managed by Sir Joseph Paxton; the earlier vicarage and an existing 18th-century inn were moved to the new site. One building of the old village, Park Cottage, was not removed. A church existed here in the 1100s but it was rebuilt and increased in size in the mid-1800s.[4][5][6]
A report published in 1870 stated that the village was "a pretty place of villa-cottages" and had a post office and an inn, as well as 123 houses". The population of the township, including the village, was 592.[7]
In 2019 some 575 people worked on the Chatsworth Estate which included the village.[8] This area has been the home of the Cavendish family since 1549.[9]
By the mid-1800s, Edensor was considered to be a "model village"; "rules were being enforced to preserve the appearance of the settlement".[4] The Chatsworth Estate office occupies a "fine brick building"[10] which was built as an inn for visitors to Chatsworth in the 18th century and attributed to James Paine. As of 2021, 50 of the buildings in the village are listed buildings, all Grade II (with a few at Grade II*) except for the Church of St Peter which is Grade I Listed.[11]
The village forms part of the Chatsworth Estate; the ownership is held by The Chatsworth House Trust on behalf of the Cavendish family.[12]
