Buntingsdale Hall is a historic country house in the parish of Sutton upon Tern, to the southwest of Market Drayton in Shropshire, England. It became a Grade II * listed building on 14 February 1979.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Buntingsdale Hall )〕 ==History== Buntingsdale Hall was first built for Bulkeley Mackworth and the Mackworth family between 1719 and 1721.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Buntingsdale Hall, Market Drayton, England )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Buntingsdale Hall, SMRNO07571 )〕 The plans for the building were drawn up by the London architect and surveyor John Prince,〔References to Prince in the fragmentary buildings accounts. Prince was also the architect of Cound Hall, Salop., "remarkable for the ambitious but inept use of a giant Corinthian order applied to the main elevations" (Howard Colvin, ''A Biographical Dictionary of British Architects, 1600-1840'', 3rd ed. 1995, ''s.v.'' "Price, John").〕 although it was completed by Francis Smith of Warwick.〔 Documents have revealed that Mackworth may have encountered a dispute with Prince and dismissed him and hired Francis Smith to complete the building.〔 The estate formerly included the remains of Fordhall castle, a monument scheduled under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979 ("Ringwork and bailey castle 390m west of Buntingsdale Hall, List entry Number 1019659") Herbert Mackworth later sold the hall to his cousin William Tayleur, who subsequently owned the property for many years. He gives his name to Tayleur Drive, the road that leads to the hall. In 1986, during the time that a survey was conducted of the property, it was reported that a number of furnishings had been stolen from the hall.〔 By 2000 the hall was in disrepair and was placed on the Historic Buildings at Risk register. Subsequently it was renovated and was finally removed from this register in 2004.〔 Over the years the hall has been owned by many different families but the current owners are Mackworths, direct descendants of Bulkeley Mackworth.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Drayton Walks )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Richard Mackworth - obituary )〕 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「Buntingsdale Hall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
