The Court House is a historic Jacobean building located on Calf Lane in the town of Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire, England. The building dates back to the 17th century. It is a Grade II* listed building under the UK's statutory designation system for historically significant structures.[1] The Court House is most likely a conversion of a stable block after Old Campden Manor was destroyed in 1645 during the English Civil War, when it was burned down in order to prevent it falling into the hands of Parliamentary forces.[1]
The Court was constructed in the early 17th century, during the Jacobean period, presumably at around the same time as Old Campden Manor. [1] Old Campden Manor was burned down during English Civil War, to prevent it falling into the hands of Parliamentary forces.[1] The Court was most likely a stable block, and features architectural elements typical of the time, including stone mullioned windows, gables, and chimneys.[1]
