The
Old Court House, a Grade II thatched property dating
from 15th/16th Century, is reputed to have been used
by the Lords of the Manor of Colyton and by the infamous
Judge Jefferies. During re-thatching in the 1990s a
sword dating from the time of the Monmouth Rebellion
(1685) was found. The house has many interesting features
including flagstone floors, beams, and a field-panelled
sitting room and staircase. At the back of the property
is a large cobbled yard and walled garden, with a gazebo
dating from 1705.
At
the end of the 19th century the Old Court House was
divided into two dwellings. It now forms part of an
attractive and historic south west facing range of buildings
running between Queen’s Square and the top of
King Street. |
