리슬리 최고의 러닝 경로

이곳은 계곡 아래 들판 끝, 개울가에 위치한 중세 시대의 해자 있는 영주 저택이었습니다. 16세기 후반에 언덕 위에 새로운 집이 지어지면서 철거되었는데, 그곳이 지금 언덕 꼭대기에 보이는 Risley Lodge Farm입니다.

리스리 파크 란크스는 1729년 더비셔에서 발견되었다고 알려진 유명한 4세기 로마 은제 서빙 접시(란크스)였습니다. 지역 농부가 리슬리 근처의 들판에서 심하게 손상된 은제 접시를 발견했다고 전해집니다. 부서진 조각들은 1736년 골동품 수집가 윌리엄 스투클리에 의해 기록되기 전에 발견자들 사이에 분배되었습니다. 그 직후 원래 조각들은 완전히 사라졌습니다. 1991년, 26개의 조각을 납땜하여 복원한 접시 전체가 런던에서 마법처럼 다시 나타났습니다. 처음에는 진정한 골동품으로 연구되었으나, 나중에 악명 높은 그린핼 가족의 미술품 위조단이 만든 정교한 20세기 위조품임이 밝혀졌습니다.

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.

Lovely cafe!

Nice easy peddle

Latin House was built by Elizabeth Grey in 1706 as a school. One of its most famous pupils was Robert Lowe, 1st Viscount Sherbrooke, later Chancellor of the Exchequer.the school was remodelled in 1868 as a preparatory school of the first grade for boys intended for Eton, Winchester and the public schools. The building survived as a school until 1914 when it became a private house. By 1966 the property was empty and was badly vandalised in that year. In 1970 a restoration project estimated at £10,000 (equivalent to £195,400 in 2023) was begun.
