Field in the foreground below the lake is were "Schofield Hall" or "Scofield Hall" stood. Once owned by Cuthbert Scofield in the late 1500s
(my 13-great grandfather). Family name derived from location "Sko" is old norse for hut on a hill. His failure to have legal heirs led to transfer of property to his nephew and to the emirgration of his disinherited grandsons to Stamford, Connecticut in the early 1600s.
