Eggleston Hall is a privately owned 19th-century country house near Barnard Castle, in Teesdale, County Durham, England. It is a Grade II * listed building.〔( English Heritage: Images of England, photograph and architectural description )〕 ==History == The manor of Eggleston was forfeited to the Crown by Charles Neville, 6th Earl of Westmorland as a consequence of his part in the Rising of the North in 1569.〔''An Historical, Topographical and Descriptive View of the County of Durham'' McKenzie and Ross (1834) p225 Google Books〕 It was granted by the Crown to the City of London and thereafter passed through several hands until it was acquired by the Hutchinson family early in the 18th century.〔 The house was built on the site of the old manor house in 1817 for Timothy Hutchinson (High Sheriff of Durham in 1858) to a design by architect Ignatius Bonomi. The two-storey house has a recessed two-bayed central block flanked by projecting end bays connected by a Doric order colonnade.〔 The house was acquired by Sir William Cresswell Gray, 1st Baronet in 1919. It was run as a finishing school by Rosemarie Gray, the widow of William Talbot Gray (High Sheriff of Durham in 1971), the son of Sir William Gray Bt. from 1972 to 1991 but has been returned to residential use. It is, in 2008, the seat of Sir William Hume Gray, 3rd Baronet. 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「Eggleston Hall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
