Richmond Place, now known as Asgill House, is a Grade I listed〔 18th-century Palladian villa on Old Palace Lane in Richmond, London (historically in Surrey), overlooking the River Thames. The house is on the former site of the river frontage and later the brewhouse for the medieval and Tudor Richmond Palace. It is from Charing Cross and was built in 1757–58 by Sir Robert Taylor as a summer and weekend parkland villa beside the River Thames for Sir Charles Asgill, who was Lord Mayor of London in 1761-62.〔 It has been described as a "among the last villas of importance to be erected on the banks of the Thames".〔 It was returned to its original appearance in a restoration of 1969–70 by Donald Insall Associates. This included removing the Victorian extensions.〔 Asgill House is now leased from the Crown Estate as a private residence. ==Gallery== Image:Thames_River_-_Richmond,_Surrey,_UK.jpg|Richmond Railway Bridge (1846) and Asgill House (1757) viewed from the River Thames Image:Richmond_Palace_commemorative_plaque_-_Richmond_-_Surrey_-_UK.jpg|Plaque on the exterior wall of Asgill House at Old Palace Lane, commemorating Henry I, Edward III, Henry VII and Elizabeth I as residents of Richmond Palace 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「Asgill House」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
