Location of Dodington Hall in Somerset
Dodington Hall in Dodington, within the English county of Somerset, was built in the 15th century. It is a Grade II* listed building.[1]
The house is built of local red sandstone and has a slate roof with several tall chimney stacks.[1]
In the open hall is a decorated ceiling, with another in the parlour wing which also contains heraldic glass which has survived from the original construction in 1485.[2]
The manor house was expanded in 1581, but then fell into disrepair and was let as a farmhouse during the 17th century.[2]
It contains the mechanism of a water driven spit in the cellar below the kitchen.[3][4]
