:''Not to be confused with the Ashcombe House in Somerset formerly occupied by Peter Gabriel.'' Ashcombe House, also known as Ashcombe Park, is a Georgian manor house, set in of land, on Cranborne Chase, in the parish of Berwick St John, near Salisbury, in Wiltshire, England. The house is about equidistant between the villages of Berwick St John and Tollard Royal. It is listed on the Statutory List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest as a Grade II structure by English Heritage.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=Images of England )〕 ==Early history== There have been several buildings on the site. The first house was built in 1686 by a local squire, Robert Barber. Only some fifty years later, in 1740, the Barber family entirely demolished the 1686 house and rebuilt on the site.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=The DiCamillo Companion )〕 In 1750 Anne Wyndham inherited the house. The next year she married the Hon. James Everard Arundell, third son of the 6th Baron Arundell of Wardour. In 1754 the architect Francis Cartwright largely remodelled the interior of the house for the Arundells. In 1815 the Ashcombe Estate was purchased from Lady Arundell by Thomas Grove the younger of Ferne House for £8,700.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=The National Archives )〕 Thomas Grove's grandson Sir Walter demolished most of the 1740 house in around 1870. Sir Walter later sold Ashcombe House to the 13th Duke of Hamilton, who in turn sold Ashcombe to Mr R. W. Borley of Shaftesbury after World War I. The current Ashcombe House was originally part of the much larger mid-eighteenth century structure, and is an L-shaped three-bay survival of the eastern wing.〔 There is a five-bay orangery close to the house.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=Images of England )〕 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「Ashcombe House, Wiltshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
