	Montacute House (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.unc.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-11)
		Montacute House is reputed to be one of the finest examples of Elizabethan great houses in the United Kingdom.
		Like all houses of the Elizabethan era there were no corridors, this problem was solved in the late 18th century when a facade from a nearby mansion at Clifton Maybank (which was being demolished) was transported to Montacute thus providing the much needed corridor.
		The name Montacute is presumed to be derived from the Latin "Mons Acutus", referring to the small but still quite acute hill located to the west of the village.

	Montacute - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Montacute is reputed to have been named by Robert, Count of Mortain, who built the motte-and-bailey Castle Montacute as his English seat in 1068 and founded the Cluniac priory.
		Montacute castle was besieged by the local Saxons in 1069 and its relief required the assembly of a considerable force by the Norman bishop Geoffrey of Coutances whose large landholdings were also threatened.
		The vicar of Montacute between 1885 and 1918 was the Reverend C.F. Powys, father of the writers John Cowper Powys, Llewelyn Powys and Theodore Francis Powys.

	Montacute House - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Montacute House, situated in the South Somerset village of Montacute, is reputed to be one of the finest Elizabethan country houses in the United Kingdom.
		Now, with the new frontage in place, the house was virtually turned around: The 'Clifton-Maybank' façade becoming the front entrance of the house, and the impressive former front elevation now overlooking a grass lawn surrounded by flower borders, rather than the original entrance courtyard.
		Finally in 1929, the house was sold to philanthropist Ernest Cook who presented it to the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings, and from that Society, it passed to the National Trust.
