Property description
Offered on a short term let a stunning and historic detached thatched village residence which is listed grade II* as being of great historic and architectural interest. This Court House is probably of medieval origin. Despite local folklore linking it to the notorious Judge Jeffrey’s and his 'Bloody Assize' of 1685, it was not a law court but was the meeting place for the main manor court in Bratton. Parts of Bratton came under the jurisdiction of several manors, making for a confusing story, but the largest and most well-known is the one that from the late 1660s had as its lords of the manor the Thynne family of Longleat, who later got the title Viscount Weymouth and later still Marquis of Bath. Their tenants attended this courthouse. <br />
