Marks Hall was a Jacobean country house some 3 km (2 miles) north of Coggeshall in Essex, England.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Marks Hall Jacobean Mansion )〕 ==History== In 1163 the manor house and estate of Markshall were granted to the Markshall family after being confiscated from Hugh de Essex. They descended in the Markshall family until the estate was sold to John Cole, who renovated parts of the house. It was then sold to Edward Deraugh in 1581. In 1605 Robert Honywood purchased Marks Hall from Deraugh's grandson, William, pulled down part of the old timber framed house and built a new brick building in 1609. 〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title= History of Marks Hall Mansion ) 〕 The estate then descended in the Honywood family to John Lamotte Honywood who, dying childless in 1694, left it to his cousin Robert. Robert, the MP for Essex, modernised the house and died in 1735. Several generations later it passed to Filmer Honywood of Kent, the MP for Kent and then down to Frances Emma, who died unmarried at Marks Hall in 1895. 〔 Thomas Phillips Price (1844-1932), a Welsh landowner, mine owner, and Liberal politician, purchased Marks Hall, then a mansion and deer park, at auction in 1898. He made provision in his Will to leave the Marks Hall estate to the nation in the interest of agriculture, arboriculture and forestry.〔(Marks Hall Gardens and Arboretum / History )〕 During the Second World War, Earls Colne Airfield was built on the edge of the deer park and much of the property requisitioned for used as the headquarters for a number of local airfields. By 1949, the mansion was neglected and said to be in a dangerous state, and was demolished in 1950.〔 The Marks Hall Estate is now the site of gardens and an arboretum.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Marks Hall Gardens and Arboretum )〕 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「Marks Hall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
