Blaise Castle Estate : ウィキペディア英語版 | Blaise Castle
Blaise Castle is an 18th-century mansion house and estate near Henbury in Bristol (formerly in Gloucestershire), England. The museum is housed in a late 18th century, Grade II listed mansion. Blaise Castle was immortalised by being described as "''the finest place in England''" in Jane Austen's novel ''Northanger Abbey.'' ==Early history== Flint fragments show Blaise Castle Estate was probably first inhabited by Neolithic farmers. There is more definitive evidence for Bronze Age, Iron Age and Roman activity through the distinctive hill-forts in the area and other archaeological finds. The value of this historic landscape was recognised when it became a Scheduled Ancient Monument in 1982. After the Anglo-Saxon invasion and subsequent conversion to Christianity, the land was granted to the Bishop of Worcester as part of the Kingdom of Mercia. During this time the estate picked up its association with Saint Blaise that lives on in the estate's name.
