Eardisland, Leominster, Herefordshire, HR6 9DN, United Kingdom :''not to be confused with the park in Chelsea, London, Burton’s Court'' Burton Court is a Grade II * listed English country manor house in the Parish of Eardisland, southwest of Leominster, Herefordshire, England. The manor dates to at least the 11th century and the current house to the early 14th and 18th century. It lies along the A44 road, about south of Eardisland in the northern part of the hamlet of Lower Burton. It is now run as a Herefordshire wedding and private hire venue. Burton Court featured in Simon Jenkins's successful book ''England's Thousand Best Houses''. ==History== The name Burton is believed to be of Saxon origin, derived from ''Burh'' and ''ton'', meaning "fortified dwelling place". The manor of Burton is mentioned in the Domesday Book, with the name Beuretune, where it was valued at 2 "hydes".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History )〕 The manor was documented during the reign of Edward III in 1331; Henry of Monmouth, later to become Henry V, possibly stationed his troops there while surveying the movements of Owain Glyndŵr, the last Welshman to hold the title Prince of Wales.〔 The house is associated with the St. Owens (until 1427), Downtons (through marriage), Cotes, Crofts, Jervase Smith (d. 1627), Brewsters (mid-late 17th century until 1865), and Clowes (mid 19th and mid-20th centuries).〔 A notable Brewster was Dr. William Brewster (fl.1665), a scholar with a considerable collection of books, now housed in Hereford Cathedral. In 1960, it was bought by Lt Cmdr Simpson and has been home to the Simpson family since. 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「Burton Court, Eardisland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
