Llanvihangel (or Llanfihangel) Court, Llanvihangel Crucorney, is a Tudor country house in Monmouthshire, Wales, described as "the most impressive and richly decorated house of around 1600 in Monmouthshire".〔The Buildings of Wales: Gwent/Monmouthshire, page 287, accessed 7 February 2012〕 The court has a "complicated building history"〔 stretching from the mid-16th century to the early 20th century. It is a Grade I listed building. The court was originally constructed by the Morgan family in 1559,〔 although earlier medieval elements were incorporated. It was later substantially embellished and extended by the Arnolds,〔 Members of Parliament for and High Sheriffs of Monmouthshire in the 17th and 18th centuries. The north front is of two storeys and six bays from the late 17th century,〔The Buildings of Wales: Gwent/Monmouthshire, page 288〕 whilst the east front was largely rebuilt as late as 1905.〔 The interior contains plaster ceilings, screens, fireplaces, doorcases and a "magnificant" staircase〔 of very high quality, some from the 17th century and some from later re-modellings.〔The Buildings of Wales: Gwent/Monmouthshire, page 289〕 The grounds and outbuildings are also of note. The stable block is "a great rarity dating from 1630–40 and largely unaltered". It is a Grade I listed building in its own right. Near the lake there is a small brick summerhouse, also called the Guardhouse or Garden House, which may originally have been one of a pair completing a walled enclosure around the court. This has its own Grade II * listed designation. The court is a private house that is occasionally open to the public. ==Notes== 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「Llanvihangel Court」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
