  • Meaford Hall in Staffordshire, England is a 17th-century country house at Meaford, near Stone, Staffordshire. The River Trent runs through the estate's meadow. On the river was one round and one three-sided half-turret. It is a Grade II* listed building that reached as much as 156 feet long by 45 feet wide with a basement, ground floor and second floor. The hall consisted of two buildings with a chamber, work room and bedroom. The basement included a deeds room, wine cellar, two beer cellars and dispense cellar. The estate was founded in the 8th century and acquired by William Jervis of Chatcull in the late 17th century and remained the seat of the Jervis family for almost 250 years. It played a role in The 'Forty-Five' rebellion by the Young Pretender, Prince Charles Edward Stuart. Swinfen Jervis received 70 soldiers and awaited an engagement that never occurred. It was the birthplace of Admiral John Jervis, later 1st Earl St Vincent, hero of the defeat of the Spanish at the Battle of Cape St Vincent in 1797. The Hall was much extended and modernised by Lady Forester, daughter of Edward Jervis Jervis, 2nd Viscount St Vincent in the late 19th century but was sold in 1943. Thereafter it was variously occupied by the United States Forces, and by a school and latterly it served as the headquarters of the building company Percy Bilton Ltd. Following a period of unoccupation and neglect the Hall – much reduced in size – was restored by a new owner and was reopened on 14 February 1997, the bicentenary of the Battle of Cape St Vincent. At some point it was acquired by Craig Johnson, who undertook a number of developments, including addition of a leisure suite. In April 2008 Johnson was one of 21 people to be jailed in connection with a £138m VAT carousel fraud, with the defendants sentenced to a total of 133 years – one of the largest thefts from public funds that has been brought to court after a Customs investigation. In November 2008, Johnson was ordered to repay HMRC £26m, with £8m due within 12 months from the sale of Meaford Hall. (en)
  • Meaford Hall est une maison de campagne datant du XVIIe siècle située dans le Staffordshire, en Angleterre à proximité de la ville de Stone. La rivière Trent traverse le parc attenant à la propriété. Le long de la rivière se trouvent une tourrette ronde et une demi-tourrette à trois faces. Le bâtiment, classé Grade II*, est long de 156 pieds (47,5 m) et large de 45 pieds (13,7 m) avec un vaste sous-sol, rez-de-chassée et premier étage. La propriété se compose de deux bâtiments possédant chacun une pièce de réception, une salle de travail et une chambre. Le sous-sol abrite une salle des actes, une cave à vin, deux caves à bière et un cellier. Le domaine, dont l'existence remonte au VIIIe siècle, est acquis par William Jervis de Chatcull à la fin du XVIIe siècle et reste le berceau de la famille Jervis pendant près de 250 ans. Meaford Hall joue un rôle dans la rébellion des « Quarante-Cinq » menée par le prince Charles Édouard Stuart dit le « Jeune Prétendant ». Swinfen Jervis est placé à la tête de 70 soldats et attendit un combat qui n'eut jamais lieu. Meaford Hall est le lieu de naissance de l'amiral John Jervis, par la suite titré 1er comte de Saint-Vincent, héros de la victoire sur la flotte espagnole bataille du cap Saint-Vincent en 1797. La propriété est agrandie et modernisée par Lady Forester, fille d' à la fin du XIXe siècle mais elle est vendue en 1943. Par la suite, elle est successivement occupée par les forces armées des États-Unis pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, reconvertie en école avant de servir de siège social à l'entreprise Percy Bilton Ltd. Après une période d'abandon, la propriété est restaurée et rouverte le 14 février 1997 pour le bicentenaire de la bataille du cap Saint-Vincent. Acquise par Craig Johnson, ce dernier réalise un certain nombre d'aménagements, au nombre desquels la construction d'un centre de loisirs. En avril 2008, Johnson fait partie des 21 personnes incarcérées pour un carousel de TVA d'un montant de 138 m£, et condamnée à un total cumulé de 133 années d'emprisonnement - l'un des plus importants détournement de fonds publics mis au jour par une enquête des Douanes britanniques. En novembre 2008, Johnson est condamné à payer 26 m£ à HM Revenue and Customs, dont 8 m£ dans les 12 mois - dont une partie provient de la vente de Meaford Hall. (fr)
