Scarisbrick Hall Sale 16th July 1923

[jimmy-j]

This beautiful house is situated on the site of the ancestral home of the Scarisbrick family, that dates back to the time of King Stephen. The present building, considered to be one of the finest examples of Victorian Gothic architecture in the country, was designed by Pugin and completed in 1867.
Its most notable feature is the 100-foot tower, which strongly resembles the well-known clock tower of the Houses of Parliament, and is visible from many miles around.

Scarisbrick Hall was designed by Pugin and a later commision of his (with Barry) was designing the Houses of Parliament. It is said that he used the tower at Scarisbrick Hall as a model for the Big Ben bell tower.
Didn't the Marquis die before the hall was finished and his wife put a lot of money into St Elizabeths - Scarisbrick church?

I have to ask......

Is George Trollope, of London, any relation to our photographer for the Southport Reporter?

Phil: The Marquis de Casteja was born 22 February 1805 and died 11 August 1898 according to " A History Of Scarisbrick" by Mona Duggan.

It's a pity that, as with most older posts on this site. The pictures are lost.

The Marquis married Elizabeth Scarisbrick. When she died he had St Elizabeth's church built in her honour.

I have been round Scarisbrick hall a couple of times. A lovely building
