Bunny Hall is a grade I listed country house in Bunny, Nottinghamshire. The house was originally an Elizabethan red brick house with an 80 foot high tower. The house was rebuilt in 1720 by Thomas Parkyns and now stands in 24 acres of formal gardens and parkland.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Name: BUNNY HALL List Entry Number: 1249018 )〕 It has been equipped with a cinema room and a leisure area equipped with gymnasium, steam and sauna rooms, a large indoor heated pool and separate Jacuzzi and spa area.

Successive generations of the Parkys family were to live there until 1850. After the civil war the owner at the time, Thomas Parkyns, was elevated to the baronetage in recognition of the family's support for the throne. In 1720 the buildings were greatly renovated by Thomas Parkyn, 2nd Baronet. Further extensive re-modelling of the Hall was carried out between 1826 and 1835. In 1850 the Parkyns lineage failed and the estate was bequeathed to Mrs. Burt, the housekeeper who in turn left it to the Levinge family. He sold the whole estate to Sir Albert Ball, the Mayor of Nottingham who quickly passed it on to the Cordeux′ family. During WWII the estate and hall were bought by Bertie Edwards whose son moved out and renovated the building.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= Bunny Hall )〕 It was bought in 2000 by the family of Chek Whyte and in 2009 was for sale at a price in excess of 3 Million pounds.〔 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「Bunny Hall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
