Hinton House is a large country house near Hinton St George in Somerset, England. ==History== The house started life as a medieval hall which was rebuilt circa 1500 by Sir Amias Paulet.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher= Parks and Gardens UK )〕 Alterations were made by Matthew Brettingham, John Soane, James Wyatt and Jeffry Wyattville for successive Lords Poulett.〔Robinson, p.123〕 The Tower House was added around 1814. The south front was based on Inigo Jones's Banqueting House in Whitehall.〔 The South Range is Grade II * listed. The former stable block which was built in the late 18th century by John Soane is a Grade II listed building. Immediately south of the main house is a sunken garden surrounded by low open balustrading. During World War II the house was used by St Felix School for Girls in Felixstowe.〔Robinson, p.124〕 The estate was dissolved in August 1968 following its sale by the childless 8th and last Earl Poulett and the house itself broken up into luxury flats.〔 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「Hinton House」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
