スタンリーアンドスタンリーコモンのおすすめランニングルート

イングランドで最も小さく、最もユニークな教区教会の一つで、その大きさはわずか7.6×7.9メートルです。12世紀半ばに遡り、文字通り隣接する私的な歴史ある農家と屋根と壁を共有する二世帯住宅となっています。 元々は隣接する、現在廃墟となっている中世の修道院の病棟礼拝堂として機能していましたが、隣接する家は後に「ブルーベル・イン」という名のパブとして使用されました。伝説によれば、副牧師はパブのバーで着替え、ギャラリーのドアを通って説教に行ったと言われています。 その大きさにもかかわらず、内部には受胎告知、訪問、降誕を描いた、保存状態の良い13世紀後半の壁画が収められています。 この礼拝堂は、祭壇の後ろに置かれた著名な1634年の説教壇、段になったギャラリー席、そして17世紀のボックス席など、歴史的な特徴に満ちています。 周囲の村と修道院の遺跡は、ロビン・フッドの伝説でアラン・ア・デールが恋人と結婚した場所として、民話で有名です。

A scenic, peaceful, and popular, privately-owned, man-made lake situated within the historic Locko Park estate. It is surrounded by lush green parkland, making it ideal for quiet walks, picnicking, and wildlife watching.

Ownership of the estate and surrounding area is recorded back as early as the Doomsday book of 1086, when the land is recorded as belonging to a Saxon called Stori. Following the Norman Conquest, the Manor of Spondon was one of 210 manors awarded to Baron Henri de Ferriers, a Norman companion of William the Conqueror, for his bravery and support during the Battle of Hastings. In 1180, descendant William de Ferriers gave the land to the Burton Lazars of Leicestershire, an order of St. Lazarus monks dedicated to the care and nursing of lepers. The monks founded a leper hospital on the Locko Estate to the rear of the existing Locko Hall building. Indeed, the name Locko derives from the hospital, coming from the old French word 'loques', meaning rags.

Really lovely every time we have been staff have been wonderful, food is lovely and the venue itself is very well planned out for seating, especially like the hooks outside for your dog to be attached to rather than worrying your dog is going to take the table with them when a squirrel catches their eye 😆

A fantastically beautiful water landscape

This Grade II listed lodge house was built in 1861 for the Miller-Mundys of Shipley Hall. Red brick with yellow brick and blue brick bands, also with stone band at sill level on ground floor and stone dressings, now painted. Steeply pitched red plain tile roof.

Really nice food and staff

Locko Hall is a privately owned 18th century grade II listed mansion. The chapel, built in 1669 is the oldest part of the house. Substantial additions were made to the house in the 19th century. The majority of the garden and parkland design was completed in the late 1700s.
