Crowcombe Court in Crowcombe, Somerset, England is a large country house dating from 1724–39. It is Grade I listed.[1]

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 amber 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]

It has previously been used as a nursing home and today the Court is hired out for weddings and other functions.[3]
