From the Wikipedia article
Ashleworth Court is a grade I listed house close to the River Severn in Ashleworth, Gloucestershire, England. The site has revealed pottery from Roman Britain. Ashleworth was donated to the church in the 12th century. The blue lias stone house was built around 1460 for Bristol Abbey. It has been revised several times including the division of the great hall with a new upper floor in the 17th century. The thatched roof has been replaced with tiles. The house is close to, and associated with Ashleworth Tithe Barn and the local Anglican church forming an example of an Augustinian rectorial manor.
