Earnshill House, Georgian manor house in Hambridge and Westport, England.
The five-bay brick manor features Hamstone dressings, projecting wings on both sides, and stands within established parkland near Curry Rivel.
The Muchelney Abbey owned Earnshill until the monasteries dissolution, after which Francis Eyles built the central portion in 1728 as his country residence.
Walter Clopton Wingfield developed lawn tennis at Earnshill, receiving the patent from Queen Victoria in 1874 for this new sporting innovation.
The Grade I listed designation of Earnshill House restricts modifications to the structure, maintaining its architectural authenticity through strict preservation guidelines.
The oval croquet lawn at the entrance witnessed Olive Combe's development into a champion, leading to her 1898 singles victory at Wimbledon.
