Exton Hall is an English country house on the western edge of the village of Exton, Rutland, England, standing in its own extensive park. ==The Hall== It was the family seat of the family of Sir James Harington and later the Noel family, Earls of Gainsborough for almost four hundred years. An earlier mansion burnt down in 1810 and is now a ruin which has grand gables and beautiful chimneys like many Elizabethan houses. The ruins are on English Heritage's Heritage at Risk register.〔(Old Hall ruins, Exton Park, Exton - Rutland (UA) )〕 The present Exton Hall was built in the 19th century close to the ruins of the original house. In 1869 a Roman Catholic chapel, dedicated to St Thomas of Canterbury was added, to a design by Charles Alban Buckler. The hall is still in regular use as the private home of Henry Noel, Viscount Campden and his family. The hall is one of the many stately homes in Britain associated with the Legend of the Mistletoe Bough. The hall remains a private home and is not normally open to the public, though it is available for a limited number of exclusive private weddings. 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「Exton Hall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
