Foremarke Hall is a Georgian-Palladian country house and manor house. Completed in 1762, the Hall is located at the manor (hamlet) of Foremark, near the hamlets of Ingleby, Ticknall, Milton, and the village of Repton in South Derbyshire, England. It is the current home of the Repton Preparatory School. Before becoming the Preparatory School, Foremarke Hall was the ancestral home of the Burdett family of Bramcote. It is a Grade 1 listed building.〔( English Heritage:Images of England, Detailed architectural description )〕 The school and a Great Western Railway "Modified Hall" class steam locomotive, no. 7903, are named after this hall. ==The Preparatory School== (詳細はboarding needs caused by the Second World War, it was originally established in 1940 at "The Cross" in Repton with just eight boys. In 1942 it moved to Latham House, which was part of Repton School. By the end of the War there were over 100 boys in the prep school, but as the senior school numbers increased the prep school was in danger of being closed or squeezed out. Fortunately Foremarke Hall became available.
Today, under Headmaster Richard Merriman, the School enjoys a national reputation for excellence in sport, music and drama, while ensuring pupils achieve academically, with Scholarships awarded each year to Repton, as well as schools such as Eton and Radley.〔http://foremarke.org.uk/foremarke-in-tatlers-top-100-992011〕 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「Foremarke Hall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
