It was built, in English regional baroque style,[2] by Thomas Parker, for Thomas Carew,[3] and finished by Nathaniel Ireson of Wincanton, after Carew found that Parker had taken old coins, found while demolishing the old house.[4] Minor alterations were carried out by Edward Middleton Barry around 1870.[1]
The house has terracotta coloured bricks complemented by Bath stone pilasters and frontispiece.[5] The interior includes plasterwork by Grinling Gibbons.[6] The house was described by Nikolaus Pevsner as "the finest house of its date in Somerset south of the Bath area".[7][8]
Brympton School, previously at Brympton d'Evercy, occupied Crowcombe Court between 1974 and 1976.[9] It has also been used as a nursing home.[3]
The previous owners of the house David and Kate Kenyon purchased the property in 2011. Kate is a direct descendant of James Morrison.
The gardens and parkland are listed, Grade II, on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens of special historic interest in England.[10]
As of 2019, Crowcombe Court is owned by The Gilchrist Collection and is used as a Wedding Venue.[11]
