Location edit

It is located within the village of Ebrington in Gloucestershire,[3] immediately to the south-west of the parish church of Ebrington.[4]

History edit

The house dates back to the fourteenth or fifteenth century, and was significantly altered twice, in the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries.[5][2] It was built on land purchased by Sir John Fortescue (c.1394-1479), who was Chief Justice of the King's Bench.[5]

An heraldic cartouche above the entrance door displays the arms of Fortescue impaling Aylmer, representing Hugh Fortescue (1665–1719), and his second wife Lucy Aylmer, whom he married after 1708, a daughter of Matthew Aylmer, 1st Baron Aylmer (circa 1650–1720), grandparents of Hugh Fortescue, 1st Earl Fortescue (1753-1841).[6]

During World War II the house was run by the American Red Cross for rest and recuperation for United States Army Air Forces bomber crews.[7] In 1970 the house was the location of an attempted murder and arson.[8]

The current Earl has three daughters and no sons. Therefore the family has been involved in a campaign to change inheritance laws.[9]

It was listed as a grade II building by English Heritage on 25 August 1960.[3][5]

Architecture edit

 
Entrance gate piers

The limestone building has grey slate roofs and a central five flue chimney. The main body of the house includes a 17th centy hall and balustraded gallery. There is extensive plasterwork throughout the house, some of which was moved from a summerhouse in the grounds.[1] The main entrance gate piers and the summer-house in the grounds are both grade II* listed buildings.[10][11] The garden was laid out in the 1940s.[2]
