History
The Court was built in 1792, for Richard Ford, the rector of Charlton Mackrell, in a "Georgian Gothic" style.[1][2]
A rectory on the site was first recorded in 1524. By the late 18th-century it was described as "very ruinous" and Ford "repaired" it in 1792.[1][2] In reality, Ford had it "almost totally rebuilt".[1] The house was sold by the Church of England in 1922, following the merger of the living.[1]
Later inhabitants included William Brymer (1796–1852), who became Archdeacon of Bath from 1840 until his death in 1852.[3]
The Court has nine bedrooms, four reception rooms, six bathrooms, and 21 acres of land.[4] In April 2017, it was listed for sale at £3.75 million.[4]
