Sarum Chase is a Grade II listed〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sarum Chase )〕 neo-Tudor mansion,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Francis Salisbury - Artist, Fine Art, Auction Records, Prices, Biography for Francis Owen Salisbury )〕 at 23 West Heath Road, Hampstead, London,〔Maurice Bradshaw, ‘Salisbury, Francis Owen (1874–1962)’, rev. Charles Noble, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, May 2005 (accessed 17 July 2011 )〕 described by Nicholas Pevsner as "pure Hollywood Tudor".〔Pevsner, Lond. ii. 197; Thompson, Hampstead, 338.〕 It was built in 1932 as the home and studio of portrait artist Frank O. Salisbury.〔 The word ''Sarum'' is the old name for the town of Salisbury. The architect was Vyvyan Salisbury, his nephew.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=St Vedasts School for Boys, Sarum Chase - Hampstead - Greater London - England )〕 The author's wife cut the first sod on the site, on 4 September 1932.〔 They moved in on 4 July 1933.〔 In his 1953 autobiography, also titled ''Sarum Chase''.,〔 Salisbury wrote: Telegraph Hill rises from the junction of Platt’s Lane and West Heath Road to one of the highest points in Hampstead overlooking London, with a wonderful view across country to the Chilterns. It was the place where the beacon was lit to carry the tidings of the Spanish Armada. What a place for a garden! What a situation for a House! The land was as bare as the heath itself except for a group of giant oaks in front, and it was the glory of these trees which ultimately decided the matter. This was the last primeval site on Hampstead Heath, the very summit of London, and I resolved to have a house worthy of the situation () This wonderful little hill at the very top of London was a wilderness of stinging nettles and wild plants and it was thrilling to look forward to what might be made of it. On his death in August 1962,〔 Salisbury bequeathed the house in trust to the British Council of Churches. However, the BCC sold the mansion and auctioned its contents. On 7 June 1968, it was the setting of a photoshoot for The Rolling Stones, for their ''Beggars Banquet'' album, by photographer Michael Joseph. Previously unseen images from the shoot were exhibited at the Blink Gallery in London in November and December 2008.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Our Work )〕 The house was also the setting for a low-budget horror-glamour 8mm short film, ''Miss Frankenstein''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Miss Frankenstein R.I.P. (8mm short - film review) )〕 It was also used for some of Andy Milligan’s London-based movies such as ''The Body Beneath'' and ''The Rats Are Coming! The Werewolves Are Here!''.〔 It also appeared briefly in Disney's live-action movies ''101 Dalmatians'' and ''102 Dalmatians'' as the exterior of Cruella De Vil’s home.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=101 Dalmatians filming locations )〕 When listed, in May 1974,〔 the house was in use as St Vedasts School for Boys.,〔 an arm of the School of Economic Science. The SES sold the building in January 2005, for £9,300,000.〔Charity Commission Accounts, 2005, page 22.〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Charity Commission Accounts, 2006 )〕 It is now once again a private residence.〔 == 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「Sarum Chase」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
