thumbnail Scout Hall (also known as Scote Hall) at Shibden near Halifax, West Yorkshire, England, was built in 1681 for John Mitchell (1659–1696), who had inherited great wealth as a silk merchant.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Scout Hall, Shibden )〕 Mitchell was castigated by the preacher Oliver Heywood for his dissolute way of life, spending his money on horse racing and drink. The house is a 'calendar' building, supposedly of 12 bays, with 52 doors and 365 panes of glass. It is Grade II * listed but is on the English Heritage 'buildings at risk' register. The standing Scout Hall was built on the site of several earlier houses of the same name, the ancestral homes of the Stancliff(e), Otes, Savile and Waterhouse families〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Shibden Hall )〕 (Mitchell's wife was a Stancliff(e)). The name Stancliffe, or Stanclift, comes from the Old German/Old English for stone cliff.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Stancliff Family History )〕 The large homes named Scout Hall were all built near the base of a large stone cliff and a quarry from which the building stones were harvested. In 2010 it was put on the market for £350,000, and later withdrawn, but has reputedly been sold〔 to someone who intends to restore it. == 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「Scout Hall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
