Eye Manor, at Eye, Herefordshire, is a Grade I listed Carolean house between Ludlow and Leominster with noted plasterwork ceilings. It was purchased by the Conservative politician Robert Jenrick for £1.1 million in 2009.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Newark by-election: Tory candidate Robert Jenrick says that just because he has three homes 'it doesn't mean I don't know about life on the breadline' )〕 ==History== The house stands on what was once a marsh island, beside a 12th-century church. The 17th-century square brick shell was completed in 1680, but rests on an earlier Medieval sandstone plinth. The modest exterior belies an interior with plaster ceilings by the Italian craftsmen who went on to decorate Holyrood. The present house was built by Ferdinando Gorges, a merchant and owner of sugar plantations in the West Indies and his wife, Meliora Gorges. In the 18th century the house became part of the adjoining Berrington Hall estate of the Lords Rodney (descended from Admiral Rodney) and later the Rectory to Eye Church. thumb In the 20th century Eye Manor was the home of the private publisher Christopher Sandford of the Golden Cockerel Press and his wife Lettice Sandford, an artist, proponent of traditional country crafts and reviver of the corn dolly. Jeremy Sandford, the writer and director of the television drama ''Cathy Come Home'', grew up at the house. Jessica Juliet Kirby also grew up at the house. She is a botanical artist who now resides in Williamsburg, VA. 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「Eye Manor」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
