Ogston Hall is a privately owned 18th-century country house situated at Brackenfield, near Alfreton, Derbyshire. It is a Grade II * listed building.〔( English Heritage: architectural description of listed building )〕 The Revell family of South Normanton held Ogston in the 14th century by marriage to the Deincourt heiress.〔''A Genealogical and Heraldic History of the Commoners of Great Britain and Ireland'' John Burke Vol 1 (1835)p666 Google Books〕 The house has its origins about 1500 but was much altered in the 17th century by the Revells. A two storey north west wing with attics and basement was added in 1659 and a connected stable block was added in 1695.〔 In 1706 William Revell died, leaving the estate to his sisters, one of whom married Richard Turbutt. Turbutt bought out his sister-in-law's interest.〔''History, Gazetteer and Directory of Derbyshire'' Samuel Bagshaw (1846) p598 Google Books〕 In 1768 his son William Turbutt further altered and extended the house by adding a five-bay south east wing to a design by architect Joseph Pickford. Further work was done for the Turbutts by TC Hine in 1851, including a five storey castellated tower. Part of the estate was flooded in 1957 for the creation of the Ogston Reservoir. Several of the Turbutts served as High Sheriff of Derbyshire. The most recent Turbutt to reside at the Hall was Gladwyn Turbutt, the historian and writer. He was High Sheriff in 1998. ==References== 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「Ogston Hall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
