The remainder of the inner court was built by Robert Dudley, the Earl of Leicester, in the 1570s. He built a tower now known as Leicester's building on the south edge of the court as a guest wing, extending out beyond the inner bailey wall for extra space.[28] Leicester's building was four floors high and built in a fashionable contemporary Tudor style with "brittle, thin walls and grids of windows".[29] The building was intended to appear well-proportioned alongside the ancient great tower, one of the reasons for its considerable height.[30] Leicester's building set the style for later Elizabethan country house design, especially in the Midlands, with Hardwick Hall being a classic example.[31] Modern viewing platforms, installed in 2014, provide views from Elizabeth I's's former bedroom.[32]
