Coker Court, Manor house in East Coker, England.
Coker Court is a substantial manor house in East Coker built from local Hamstone stone with ashlar dressings and stone tile roofs throughout its structure. The building extends across seven bays and displays carefully executed craftsmanship in its architectural details.
The manor was originally built by the Courtenay family in the early 1400s. Archdeacon Helyar acquired it in 1616 and made substantial alterations that significantly changed its appearance.
The manor displays Chinese wallpaper and lacquerwork in certain interior rooms, blending English architectural traditions with international decorative influences. Visitors can observe this unusual mix of styles while moving through the spaces.
The manor is currently divided into separate residential units and continues to function as a private residence. Visitors should note that the property is privately owned and may not be accessible without prior arrangement.
The manor served as a filming location for the 1996 film adaptation of Jane Austen's Emma, showcasing its historic architecture on screen. This connection to cinema history has placed the building in popular memory.
