Crosby Place : ウィキペディア英語版
Crosby Hall, London

Crosby Hall is a historic building of London, now sited in Cheyne Walk, Chelsea. It is a Grade II
* listed building.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=203744 )
==History==
The Great Hall is the only surviving part of the medieval mansion of Crosby Hall, Bishopsgate, in the City of London, which was built in 1466 by the wool merchant Sir John Crosby. By 1483, the Duke of Gloucester, later Richard III, had acquired the Bishopsgate property from the original owner's widow.〔Amy Licence. ''Anne Neville: Richard III's Tragic Queen,'' Amberley Publishing. 2013.〕 The Hall was used as one of his London homes.〔 It was used as the setting for a scene in William Shakespeare's ''Richard III''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.rbkc.gov.uk/leisureandlibraries/placesofinterest/localarchitecture.aspx )〕 In the reign of Henry VIII it belonged to Antonio Bonvisi.
Following a fire in 1672 only the Great Hall and Parlour wing of the mansion survived, it then became a Presbyterian Meeting House, and then a warehouse with an inserted floor.〔
In 1910, the mediaeval structure was reprieved from threatened demolition and moved stone by stone to its present site, provided by the former London County Council, largely at public expense. The neo-Tudor brick additions designed by Walter Godfrey were constructed around it. The salvage, catalogue and storage were paid for by the Bank of India, who had purchased the Bishopsgate site to build offices.
Godfrey also added the north wing in 1925-6 as a women's university hall of residence. The site passed to the Greater London Council (GLC), who maintained it until 1986, when the GLC was abolished. The London Residuary Body, charged with disposing of the GLC's assets, put Crosby Hall up for sale.
Crosby Hall was bought in 1989 by Christopher Moran, a businessman who is the Chairman of Co-operation Ireland. Until then the site's frontage had been open to Cheyne Walk and the Thames river and its central garden was open to the public. Moran commissioned a scheme to close the frontage with a new building and convert the complex to a luxury mansion. The scheme caused considerable controversy, but was given permission after a Public Inquiry in December 1996, following two previous refusals by Kensington and Chelsea Council.
