Lilford Hallとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Lilford Hall is a Grade 1 listed stately 100-room home having a Jacobean exterior and Georgian interior with a 55,000 sq ft (5,100 m²) floor area, located in the eastern part of the County of Northamptonshire in the United Kingdom, south of Oundle and north of Thrapston. A Grade 1 listed building is considered by the UK government as of outstanding architectural and historic interest. The Hall was the home of the Elmes family from 1635 to 1711, and then the Powys family (Baron Lilford) from 1711 to 1990. Lilford Hall is now the seat of the Micklewright family, only the third family in nearly 400 years to live permanently at the Hall. Lilford Hall and the associated parkland of 350 acres (1.4 km²) is specifically located along the River Nene for around a mile, and north-west of the village of Lilford, part of the parish of Lilford-cum-Wigsthorpe and Thorpe Achurch. The land which was turned into the parkland was mentioned in the Domesday Book, and owned by King David I of Scotland at that time.
