Crowsley Park is a 160-acre〔(Shiplake, Oxfordshire ) ''Extract from an 1852 Directory of Oxfordshire''〕 country estate in South Oxfordshire, central-southern England, owned by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). == Overview == Since the Second World War, Crowsley Park has been the site of a signals-receiving station used by BBC Monitoring, based at Caversham Park, three miles to the south. Crowsley Park House, a Grade II listed〔("Crowsley Park House, Shiplake, Oxfordshire, England" ) ''British Listed Buildings'' accessed April 23, 2011〕 18th century mansion house, sits in its own grounds within the estate and is still used as a private residence. Smaller houses on the estate — South Lodge (at the main entrance to the park), North Lodge, Keeper's Cottage and Crowsley Park Lodge — are also privately occupied. Seventy-six acres of woodland on the eastern and northern sides of the park, known as Crowsley Park Woods, is leased to the Forestry Commission.〔(James Paice, Minister of State for Agriculture and Food ) ''Parliamentary answer'' February 28, 2011〕〔(Forestry Commission, South East England Forest District ) ''Crowsley Park Habitat Restoration and Felling Map'' July, 2006〕 The remainder of the estate consists of wooded parkland used as cattle and horse pasture. Three (formerly four) very large (11-metre diameter) satellite dishes used by the BBC are on the north side of the estate. Until 2014, there were also many traditional radio aerials (antennas) spread across the park. The BBC leases the estate to private tenants, operating its receiving station from a modern building erected for the purpose near the centre of the park. Crowsley Park's history includes an association with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author of the Sherlock Holmes detective stories. 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「Crowsley Park」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
