The house is close to the village of Upper Sheringham in the English County of Norfolk in the United Kingdom. The hall was built on the instructions of Abbot and Charlotte Upcher who engaged the architect and landscape designer Humphry Repton and his son John Adey Repton〔Landscapes of Taste: The Art of Humphry Repton's Red Books (Classical Tradition in Architecture) (Hardcover) ISBN 0-415-41503-9〕 to build the house and to present designs for the surrounding parklands. Humphry worked on the landscape and John designed the hall. The house is privately owned〔 is not open to the public but can be viewed from the surrounding parkland. == Description == The main body of the house is two storeys and has a low pitched slate roof.〔 To the south facing facade there is a bay to each side with a portico with four pairs Tuscan columns creating a veranda. This leads out onto terrace which runs right across the front of the south elevation. There is a porch over the main door on the western façade which is also supported by two pairs of Tuscan columns. Above is a pediment embellished with the Upcher crest of a unicorn surrounded by five ostrich feathers. Inside the house on the ground floor there are five rooms. The three rooms on the south front of the building start with a parlour to the south west corner, a dining room to the centre and a living room and library to the south east corner which takes up the whole of the east side of the house. Of this room there is a recessed breakfast room at right angle to the eastern elevation. At the back of the house there is a study to the north west corner which leads of from the main door hallway. Next to the study is the service staircase down to the cellar and next to that is the main stairwell of a main corridor which runs through the center of the house linking the main hall, dining room, stairwell and living room at the eastern end. To the north and west attached to the main body of the house there is a service wing. The main staircase is a curved cantilevered stair with stone treads with shaped soffits. The balustrade sits on the inner open stringer and is fabricated from cast iron with a hexagonal pattern. The handrail is made from hand carved wreathed mahogany with mother of pearl and ebony inlay at the turned newel post. 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「Sheringham Hall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
