Busby Hall
Busby Hall is a Grade II* listed Country House in Little Busby, North Yorkshire, England, close to the village of Carlton-in-Cleveland. The house and parkland sits within the North York Moors National Park. The house is perhaps best known as the inspiration for Groby Hall in ''Parade's End'', a novel by Ford Madox Ford. History Busby Hall has been in the possession of the Marwood family since 1587. The current building was constructed in 1764 after a devastating fire destroyed a much earlier building. It is known that plans for a grander building were prepared by the preeminent neo-classical architect John Carr of York but were later abandoned. The constructed design was by Robert Corney. It has been remarked that the design of the house appears to be earlier in style than was typical for the time, but the reason for this or why the plans of a more fashionable architect were not used is not clear. The house sits in the centre of a 700-acre parkland with a number of other ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
