The present house was rebuilt in 1710 after the previous building was destroyed in a fire.[1] HistoryThe poet William Wordsworth and his sister Dorothy lived at Alfoxton House between July 1797 and June 1798, during the time of their friendship with Samuel Taylor Coleridge.[2] Dorothy began her journals here in January 1798 but discontinued them 2 months later to recommence when the couple moved to the Lake District.[3] These were posthumously published as The Alfoxden Journal, 1798 and The Grasmere Journals, 1800-1803. The building was refenestrated and re-roofed in the 19th century. It has been changed and extended significantly since the time of the Wordsworths to turn it into a country hotel. It has been designated by English Heritage as a grade II listed building.[3] During World War II it housed evacuees from Wellington House School Westgate on Sea in Kent.[4] BuildingAlfoxton House was built in the 18th century of rendered rubble stone, the main block being on a double-pile plan, i.e. two main rooms on each side of a central corridor. The house is two storeys high, with an attic that includes dormer windows. The frontage includes a central porch with columns, frieze and cornice in a Doric style. There is an extension to the left, originally an orangery, with a steep roof over a verandah. The wall includes the coat of arms of the St. Albyn family who owed the house for many years.[3] References1. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.information-britain.co.uk/showPlace.cfm?Place_ID=4555 |title=Alfoxton Park Hotel|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20050501020433/http://www.information-britain.co.uk/showPlace.cfm?Place_ID=4555|archivedate=1 May 2005 |accessdate=31 August 2016|work=Information Britain }} {{William Wordsworth}}2. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=18623 |title=Stringston |accessdate=31 August 2016|work=British History Online }} 3. ^1 2 {{cite web |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=265135 |title=Alfoxton Park Hotel |accessdate=31 August 2016|work=Images of England }} 4. ^{{cite book |title=Portrait of the Quantocks |last=Waite |first=Vincent |authorlink= |coauthors= |year=1964 |publisher=Robert Hale |location=London |isbn=0-7091-1158-4 |pages= }} 4 : Houses in Somerset|Houses completed in 1710|Grade II listed buildings in West Somerset|1710 establishments in England |
