Talk:Bylaugh Hall

Untitled
The text I pasted was an extract of my own work as author and webmaster of the www.bylaugh.com site.

I am researching the history of the hall and park, and wanted to put out a start point for others to comment on and add to. There are points at issue about the hall's history. For example; The Wiki entry for William Knox D'Arcy asserts that he bought the park, but I have evidence that he may have lived there, but did not own it. He may have leased or let it from the Evans-Lombe family for a few years. There are also different claims to credit the architecture either to Charles Barry jr and his partner Richardson Banks, or to Sir Charles Barry (Barry jr's father) the architect of the Houses of Parliament.

I wanted to quickly create a short piece to begin posting further information as it comes up, and to tempt others to do the same so I plagarised my own piece on the bylaugh.com site, which will undoubtedly need some revision too before long as I plough through archive material.
