Abstract
The present house is largely the result of a rebuilding in 1891 which followed a fire on 17 th November 1889. Parts of the earlier structure remain, within the present brick building. It now presents a main front of six widely-spaced bays on two storeys, the gently arched windows having central stone keystones and a stone band between the storeys. This main block, with a tall dormer-set hipped roof that is probably due to and Punch magazine satirised her efforts in verse in a the Victorian rebuild, is set between lower one-bay ranges and has a single storey canted bay window at each end. Set upon a twentieth-century balustraded terrace, this is a garden façade, whilst the entrance is around the corner with a single-storey Tuscan portico marking the front door. In the late eighteenth century the house was the seat of Walter Moseley (d. 1760)6 who left Astbury to his brother Michael. Prior to 1824 the house was occupied by T. Stringer, on whose death a sale of the contents took place. By 1845 the house was occupied by Richard Hodges Gwyn and he remained the owner in 1851. The 1891 rebuilder was the carpet manufacturer, Edmund Southwell, Mayor of Bridgnorth 1895–7. His predecessor, Thomas Martin Southwell, had established the family’s Bridgnorth business in circa 1824 on the site of the Franciscan Friary. Arthur John Buston (1858–1937), a Liverpool cotton magnate and Master of the Wheatland Hunt 1919–1921, acquired Astbury and lived there from circa 1906 until his death, when the place was again offered for sale. In 1959, Astbury was sold to Bryan Jenks (1918– 2013) following his sale of the family business, E.P. Jenks, Wolverhampton-based, brass tap manufacturers. He developed a successful herd of Hereford cattle at Astbury and made alterations to the gardens in 1961–2 under the direction of the garden designer James Russell, who provided designs and planting lists. For the house, he assembled a good collection of pictures together with English and French furniture with guidance from Frank Partridge and Sons.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
