Dovecliff Hall (alternatively known as Dove Cliff Hall or Dovecliffe Hall) is a large Georgian country house in Stretton, East Staffordshire, England which is now a country house hotel. It is a Grade II listed building. 〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title= Name: DOVECLIFFE List entry Number: 1038464 ) 〕 The house is built in two storeys of red brick with a hipped Westmorland slate roof. It has a 5 window frontage. ==History== The house was built in the 1790s on a 40 acre site at Dove Cliff, by the side of the River Dove, for Thomas Thornewill, a forge-owner from Stretton. It was inherited by his son Edward, whose widow lived there until her death in 1880. The following year Edward's son sold the estate, together with the Stretton iron-works, to William Joseph Smith of Alvaston, Derbyshire. Smith's widow sold the estate in 1897 to Hugh Spencer Charrington, a Burton-on-Trent brewer, who was already the tenant. The house passed into the Bass family when Caroline, the daughter of Lord Bass, another well-known Burton brewer, married into the Charrington family at the same time that the Bass and Charrington breweries merged. Hugh Charrington died in 1921 and thereafter the house was either empty, tenanted or functioning as an hotel until it was purchased as a private house by a Colonel Sharpe in 1936. In 1987 it was again converted to an Hotel. 〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 title= Stretton: Introduction ) 〕 Now known as the Dovecliff Hall Hotel, the property is owned by the family business of Abbot Grange Ltd, headed by Tony Sachdev and Gogi Singh. 〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title= History of Dovecliff Hall ) 〕 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「Dovecliff Hall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
