Annery was an historic estate in the parish of Monkleigh, North Devon. It was one of the original endowments of Tavistock Abbey, founded in 961.〔Thorn, Caroline & Frank, (eds.) Domesday Book, (Morris, John, gen.ed.) Vol. 9, Devon, Parts 1 & 2, Phillimore Press, Chichester, 1985, part 2 (notes), chap.5〕 The first recorded tenant of the estate was Osbert de Annery, who took his name from the estate. By 1260 the estate was held by the Stapeldons; Bishop of Exeter Walter de Stapeldon (1261-1326) was born at Annery.〔 From the Stapeldons, it was inherited by the Hankfords, amongst whom were the judge Sir William Hankford (ca. 1350 – 1423).〔 In about 1800 the mansion house was rebuilt or significantly remodelled in the neo-classical style by the Tardrews. It was demolished in the late 1950s. The estate was split-up and is now in multiple ownership. A bungalow occupies the site of the former manor house.〔Lauder〕 Three of the Victorian gatehouses survive〔Two gatehouses to the east of the former house on the A386 road by the River Torridge and the main entrance lodge to the west off the A388 road〕 as does the Georgian dower house and the stable-block. ==Mansion house== The medieval mansion stood in a "fine timbered park" dating back to the 13th century or before.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Monkleigh )〕〔 A deerpark may have been established as early as 1422, but is known to have been in existence by about 1540.〔 During the reign of Richard II (1377-1399), there was a fishery on River Torridge and a dovecote.〔 The ancient mansion fell into decay by about 1800 and a new neo-Classical building was built〔〔 or re-built around the original medieval mansion.〔 It was described as having a "stucco front with Ionic order to full height and entablature plus parapet. On the east is a bow to full height. On the north is a projecting octagonal parapet."〔 In 1912, it was described as having an outer and larger inner hall, four reception rooms, at least 12 bedrooms, oval room, library, well-appointed kitchen and butler's pantry, and a servants' hall. The dining room had "richly carved paneling" and the outer hall contained black marble and stone. Unusually modern for the time, there were 5 water closets and 4 bathrooms. A glass-sided portico was supported by Corinthian columns.〔 Views from the property included Annery's woodland, much of which is gone now, and the River Torridge valley.〔 Located on the grounds is the Dower House, a large Georgian house with a "continuous Doric verandah."〔 During Mrs Somes's ownership the head gardener lived in the 6 bedroom Dower House and other estate workers lived in cottages at Annery kiln or in the four lodges.〔 Flowers, ferns, peaches and nectarines were grown in glasshouses. A coach-house, stables, wood house, two cider houses, wash-house, coal house were some of the outbuildings.〔 It was demolished after September, 1958,〔 but the kitchen garden walls, which include the date "1813" carved above a door, have survived and have been grade II listed since 1988. 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「Annery, Monkleigh」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
