Barrow Court, Manor house in Barrow Gurney, England.
Barrow Court is a manor house with an E-shaped design in Barrow Gurney. The property comprises formal gardens and parkland areas, with the buildings divided into separate residential units since 1976.
The estate originated as Barrow Gurney Nunnery in 1212. Following dissolution by Henry VIII, it passed to John Drew in 1536 and was transformed into a private residence.
The grounds display twelve pillars representing the months of the year, adorned with sculptures by Alfred Drury. These artworks depict figures in seasonal dress and connect the estate's design to the changing year.
The site is now divided into private residential units and carries Grade II* listed status since 1952. Visitors should note that parts of the historic buildings are privately occupied and access may be limited.
A 14th-century tithe barn on the grounds was converted into a dwelling and survives as a separate structure alongside the main house. Secondary buildings include a lily pond and a mock temple that add a romantic character to the estate.
