Amesbury Abbey, Grade I listed mansion in Amesbury, England
The mansion features three stories with a grand portico supported by six composite columns and constructed using Chilmark limestone ashlar materials.
The present mansion, built between 1834 and 1840 by architect Thomas Hopper, stands on the site of a former Benedictine abbey from 979.
The mansion's grounds contain multiple Grade II listed structures, including an ornamental bridge from 1775 and a Chinese temple from 1772.
