Rise Hall (formerly Rise Manor, or Rise Park) is a Grade II * listed stately home in Rise, East Riding of Yorkshire, England. ==History== Rise is recorded in the ''Domesday Book'' as having been owned by Cnut (the son of Karli) in 1066. The estate at this time compromised 6 carucates of ploughed fields, a value roughly equal to . It also had of meadow and of woodland. For some time between 1066 and 1071, the estate belonged to William Malet before coming into the possession of Drew de Bevrère. (rendered in some sources as Drogo of La Beuvriëre〔) Rise Manor was tenanted by Franco de Fauconberg, and the Fauconbergs retained ownership until 1372 when the estate was sold to Sir John Neville by Sir Thomas Fauconberg. The estate remained in the Neville family passing down to Richard Neville, 16th Earl of Warwick, whose lands (including Rise) were seized by the crown after his death in 1471.〔 The estate next passed into ownership of Richard Neville's son-in-law Richard Plantagenet, Duke of Gloucester who later became Richard III of England. The estate remained a crown estate until 1628 when the house and of woodland were used as security for a loan from the city of London to the crown. In 1639 the grantees of the loan sold the estate to a William Raven and a Michael Evans. However they did not retain ownership long as they sold freehold in 1646 to a Thomas Bacon and Christopher Beckwith, who were buying on behalf of Hugh Bethell. At the same time as this transaction took place, Bethell himself bought out an existing leasehold on the estate.〔 The Hall was rebuilt by Richard Bethell between 1815–20. An English Heritage report into buildings of special architectural or historic interest in Yorkshire suggested that Robert Abraham, a relation of the family, may have been the architect hired to carry out the renovation. However the Pevsner architectural guide to the buildings of England suggests that Watson & Pritchett of York could be the architects. The house is primarily west facing, where it is fronted by a Grecian style portico supported by pillars. The house also has north and south aspects fronted identically with a slight wing of at either end and a pediment over the central doorway. Before the purchase of the manor, the Bethell family had been buying many surrounding farms and properties,〔 so that by 1856 the estate constituted land set aside for around 300 deer to roam in, woodland, and of fish ponds.〔 In 1995, the majority of the village of Rise was still owned by the Bethell family.〔 By 1884 the estate contained at least one cricket pitch, because in that year it played host to what is now considered an unusual match in that the opposing team was made up of 11 brothers - the Walgates of Aldbrough. The Walgates won the match by 3 wickets. 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「Rise Hall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
