SULGRAVE, United Kingdom – Members of the 501st Combat Support Wing find out about the Great Hall at Sulgrave Manor Feb. 17. Sulgrave Manor is famous for having been the ancestral home of George Washington. The house, built in the mid-1500s, was built of local limestone, with a wide south frontage, a kitchen and buttery, a Great Hall and above it a Great Chamber and two smaller private chambers. All these parts survive and can be seen today. The Great Hall has a stone floor, and its Tudor fireplace contains a salt cupboard carved with the initials of Lawrence Washington, the builder. Lawrence Washington, a Northampton wool-trader, is the great-great-great-great-great grandfather of George Washington. The Washington’s held the house for more than one hundred years.
