Chapel Cleeve Manor in Chapel Cleeve, Somerset, England started life in the 1450s as a pilgrims' hostel. It was enlarged in the 19th and 20th centuries when it was a private house and then a hotel. It is a Grade II * listed building. ==History== The oldest part of the house was built as an inn for pilgrims attending the chapel of St Mary which was built by the monks of Cleeve Abbey in the mid-15th century. The chapel was built to replace one which had fallen into the sea, however the later version no longer exists. Following the Dissolution of the Monasteries the house was leased by Henry VIII to Anthony Busted however this was revoked and the estate given to Robert Radcliffe, 1st Earl of Sussex for his services to the king. In the early 17th century the property was owned by the Stewkley family who used it as a family home until 1723. It was then purchased by Sir James Langham, 7th Baronet.〔 In the early 19th century woods were planted on the estate, when the house was extended following designs by Richard Carver.〔 In World War I the house was occupied by the Lysaght family who added the current main entrance and a ballroom, which is now used as the dining room.〔 The house used to be surrounded by a landscape park, however most of this had been built on by the 1970s, including the development of a holiday park. In the 1980s it was being used as the Chapel Cleeve Manor Hotel. 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「Chapel Cleeve Manor」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
