The White House in Aston Munslow, Shropshire is a medieval hall house that has undergone considerable alteration over the centuries. It is a grade II * listed building.〔 ==Description== The exterior of the current structure reflects three periods of rebuilding. The East end is the oldest part, dating from the 14th〔〔 or 15th〔 century. It is a hall house supported by cruck trusses. The interior was later divided by an inserted floor.〔 The walls were originally half-timbered but later rebuilt in stone.〔 The central part of the current building dates from the late 16th or early 17th century. It is a box framed structure typical of the period.〔 The West end was added in the late 18th century when a drawing room and bedroom were added in the Georgian style.〔 The North facade of the building was remodeled, hiding the Elizabethan framing.〔 The trusses of the East end provide evidence that this was originally the cross-wing of a still older building, demolished during the Elizabethan-era alterations.〔 It is possible that the cellars beneath the central portion date from this earlier building.〔 This would have been the manor house of Aston Munslow.〔 The name, "The White House", is recorded in a conveyance dated 1694, and shows that the house was whitewashed at that period.〔 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「The White House, Aston Munslow」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
