Roddam Hall is a privately owned 18th-century country house near Wooler, Northumberland. It is a Grade II listed building.〔( Keys to the Past )〕 The Roddams, an ancient Northumbrian family, held lands at Roddam in ancient times.〔'' Burke's Genealogical and Heraldic Dictionary of the Commoners of Great Britain and Ireland'' (Vol 1 (1835) p 675 Google Books〕 A survey of 1541 reported a decaying tower house without a barmkin owned by John Roddam.〔( Gatehouse Gazetteer )〕 The Roddams lived at Houghton until the early 18th century when Edward Roddam sold the Haughton estate〔 and built a new three-storey five-bayed house at Roddam.〔 From 1776 the house was owned by Admiral Robert Roddam. He was a brother-in-law of General Sir Henry Clinton (1730–1795). On his death the estate passed to a distant cousin William Spencer Stanhope who changed his name to Roddam. He was High Sheriff of Northumberland in 1834. The house was reduced to only two storeys〔( English Heritage: Images of England photograph 2004 )〕 in the 20th century. ==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「Roddam Hall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
