Enmore is a village and civil parish west of Bridgwater on the Quantock Hills in the Sedgemoor district of Somerset, England. The parish includes the hamlet of Bare Ash. ==History== The parish name means ''Duck marsh''. In the Domesday book of 1086, Enmore contained 8 families. From around 1100 the manor was held by the Malet family, with Sir Baldwin Malet obtaining a grant of a Monday market and three-day fair in 1401.〔 Enmore was part of the hundred of Andersfield.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/relationships.jsp?u_id=10106953 )〕 Barford House sits in a landscaped park. It was built around 1710 for the Jeanes family.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=Images of England )〕 Enmore Castle, built between 1751 and 1756 for John Perceval, 2nd Earl of Egmont, received 'the dismissive mockery of Horace Walpole'.〔''Against the Time in Which the Fabric and Use of Gunpowder Shall Be Forgotten: Enmore Castle, Its Origins and Its Architect – Tim Mowl'' 1990〕 Much of the building, including the offices and stables, were underground and accessed via the dry moat. The Percevals were forced to sell the castle in 1833 to pay off debts. It was bought by Nicholas Broadmead who subsequently demolished a large proportion of the building the following year. The castle once again underwent major change in 1930 when H. H. Broadmead demolished even more of the old building. The remaining portion is now divided into two dwellings.〔(【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「Enmore, Somerset」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
