Ashton Gifford House is a Grade II listed building in the hamlet of Ashton Gifford, part of the civil parish of Codford in the English county of Wiltshire. The house was built during the early 19th century, following the precepts of Georgian architecture, and its estate eventually included all of the hamlet or tithing of Ashton Gifford. The house sits in the Wylye valley, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. ==Early history== Ashton Gifford is covered in the Domesday Book, listed as land belonging to Humphrey de l'Isle.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=nationalarchives.gov.uk )〕 The land was held by Robert, previously (under King Edward) having been held by Cynewig. Ashton Gifford was a relatively prosperous estate, valued at six pounds (from four pounds in 1066). The estate consisted of of meadow, and pasture "6 furlongs long and as much broad". The site of the Anglo Saxon settlement can be seen in the field to the south of the current Ashton Gifford House, where different patches of colour in the earth indicate the sites of Anglo Saxon houses. There is reference to the manor being known as Ashton Dunstanville in the late 14th century.〔"The Wilsthire archaeological and natural history magazine" 1872, page 334〕 The 1773 version of Andrews' and Dury's map of Wiltshire refers to Ashton Gifford as "Isherton".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Codford map )〕 The map shows around eleven houses forming the tything or hamlet of Ashton Gifford.〔"Codford: Wool and War in Wiltshire", John Chandler, Phillimore 2007"〕 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「Ashton Gifford House」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
