Whitestaunton Manor in the village of Whitestaunton, Somerset, England was built in the 15th century as a Hall house and has been designated as a Grade I listed building.[1] It consists of an east–west range with two wings which were added later.[2]
The first record of the house dates from 1479 with dendrochronology showing roof timbers dating from 1447 to 1492.[3] It has been altered and expanded several times since, including a major expansion in the 1570s.[4] The stables and coach house were built in the 16th century and are now Grade II listed.[5]
Excavations carried out in 1882, when the house was owned by Charles Elton, had identified a building, thought to be a Roman villa, which had been incorporated into the grounds, and designated as a Scheduled monument.[6] In 2003, archaeological television programme Time Team carried out an excavation in the grounds, which discovered a Roman bath house.[7]
During restoration work, between 2000 and 2011, a Hammerbeam roof was discovered above a Georgian ceiling.[8] The roof dated from 1446 to 1478.[9] It had been damaged by Death watch beetle.[10] The work received an award for the work from the Wood Awards in 2008.[11] Wooden panelling had also been damaged by Death watch and Common furniture beetle. It was removed and restored.[12]
