The hall had approximately 55 rooms, open areas situated on the ground, first, second and attic floors and a vast basement.〔Alcock, R. (2008)"Memories of Greaves Hall in Banks", http://www.southportvisiter.co.uk/views-blogs/look-back/2008/07/04/memories-of-greaves-hall-in-banks-101022-21225612/〕 A porter's lodge by the main entrance, a gardener's lodge, engineer's workshop, laundry and general workshop in mock Tudor style were built in close proximity. The Scarisbricks remained at Greaves Hall until after the First World War when they moved to Scarisbrick Hall and sold the estate to a consortium of farmers from Banks. The mansion stood empty while the land was cultivated by the consortium. On 3 May 1932 the house was leased to Dorothy Glaister Greaves and became Sherbrook Private Girls' School. The ballroom was used as the school hall, with dormitories in the attic rooms, the library was re-stocked. The gardens were used for sports and leisure with tennis courts and hockey pitches. The house and grounds were used by the school until 1938 when it closed. 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「Greaves Hall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
