Borwick Hall is a 16th-century manor house at Borwick, Lancashire, England. It is a Grade I listed building and is now used as a residential outdoor education and conference centre by Lancashire County Council. ==History== The manor of Borwick is mentioned in the Domesday Book as being part of the estates of Roger of Poitou〔Victoria County History pp. 170–174.〕 but the oldest parts of the building still in existence date from the 14th century when a pele tower was built on the site.〔National Monuments Record〕 It was bought c. 1590 by Roger Bindlosse. The tower was extended to a manor house by Roger in the early 1590s before he died in 1595.〔 His son Robert inherited and was appointed High Sheriff of Lancashire in 1615. Robert's son Sir Francis Bindlosse predeceased him and so the estate passed to Francis's eldest son, Robert, who was created a baronet in 1641 and was elected MP for Lancashire in 1660. He also served twice as High Sheriff. He built a private Oratory on the estate. On his death in 1688 with no male heir the baronetcy became extinct and the estate passed to his only daughter, Cecilia, who had married William Standish. On her death there were again no male heirs and the estate passed to a daughter who had married Thomas Strickland of the Sizergh family. The Stricklands sold the Hall in 1854 for £28,000 to Col. Marton of Capernwray. By the early 19th century the Hall was falling into disrepair〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.borwickvillage.com/borwickhall1.html#borwickhall1 )〕 and was only repaired in the 1910s when it was leased to music critic John Alexander Fuller Maitland on the specific condition that he restore the building.〔 He died there in 1936. After the Second World War during which the hall was used as a military base, the estate was sold to Lancashire Youth Clubs Association〔 and later passed into the ownership of Lancashire County Council. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Borwick Hall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
