West Woodhay House, Grade I listed building in West Woodhay, England
The red brick mansion features two floors with a central hall, projecting end wings, and an ornamental lake visible from its east-facing position.
Built in 1635, possibly by Edward Carter rather than Inigo Jones, the house became home to poet Benjamin Rudyerd until his death in 1658.
The Latin inscription above the porch reads 'Nisi Dominus aedificet Frustra', expressing the religious values prevalent in 17th-century English architecture.
The property maintains its original structural elements under Grade I listing protection, requiring specific permissions for any modifications or alterations.
Soprano Susannah Cibber resided in the house during the 18th century while separated from her husband, under William Sloper's ownership.
