Alkington is a hamlet in Shropshire, England, near Whitchurch and south of that town. The village is on limestone and is residential. ==Alkington Hall== Alkington Hall was a late 16th-century country house, now a Grade II * listed farmhouse. It was constructed in two storeys of red brick with grey brick diapering and grey sandstone ashlar dressings and a plain tile and slate roofs to an L-shaped floor plan. 〔 (【引用サイトリンク】Alkington Hall, Whitchurch Rural )〕 It was built in 1592, probably for the London merchant, William Cotton. His son Rowland was an MP for Newcastle-under-Lyme for many years and High Sheriff of Shropshire for 1616. Some alterations and improvements were made in the late 19th century. It was saved from a fire in 2010 when in the ownership of John and Elaine Fearnall. 〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 title= Historic Whitchurch hall saved from fire ) 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alkington, Shropshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
