Horton Court, Manor house in Horton, England
The stone structure of Horton Court includes timber framing, detailed stonework, and Renaissance elements across its exterior and interior architectural design.
William Knight, who later became Bishop of Bath and Wells, commissioned the construction of the current house around 1521 during the reign of Henry VIII.
The ambulatory contains four stone medallions depicting historical figures Hannibal, Attila the Hun, Nero, and Emperor Augustus on its back wall.
The National Trust manages this Grade I listed building, which underwent extensive restoration work completed in 2018 to preserve its historical features.
The house incorporates early Renaissance design elements, making it among the first English buildings to display this architectural influence from continental Europe.
