Kemerton Court

Kemerton Court is an English country house in Gloucestershire with a nine-bay Baroque facade that was added in the early 18th century. The manor was built using local Cotswold stone and sits within extensive parkland and farmland that covers more than 1,000 hectares.

The manor was granted by King Henry III in 1240, marking the beginning of a continuous line of ownership that has persisted for over 750 years. This long continuity of family stewardship has shaped its development and made it an important part of the region's heritage.

The name comes from Old English, referring to a settlement by a river in this region. Today it remains a family home where the owners actively support conservation efforts across the extensive grounds.

This is a private residence with no public access to the buildings or grounds. Visitors can only view the exterior from public roads or appreciate the surrounding landscape from nearby vantage points.

The property has ties to British political history through a family connection to a former Prime Minister's household. This unexpected link to national politics adds another layer of intrigue to its local significance beyond its architectural features.
