The Duke of Devonshire wanted to have Wi-Fi at his world-famous Chatsworth House which is why he decided to renovate his domicile from the ground up, the Daily Mail reported.
The estate is familiar to many thanks to the numerous films and TV shows such as Pride and Prejudice that have been filmed there.
The Duke spent almost 33 million pounds (some $46 million dollars) for the entire project that has become the most pricey and large-scale renovation over the last two centuries.
Even the restoration of Windsor Castle after the devastating fire in November 1992 cost just four million pounds more.

Chatsworth House is one of the main tourist attractions in the UK. The house is visited by about 600,000 tourists every year.
