Burton Court

Burton Court is a country house that dates back to the 14th century, with significant remodeling around 1808, restoration in 1865 by F Kempson, and further work in 1912 by Clough Williams Ellis. The building features a timber frame that is clad and extended in stuccoed brick and ashlar, topped with a tile roof.

The north-east front includes a mid-19th century cross-wing on the right, followed by the 14th century great hall, and a 20th century porch and range on the left. The 19th century range to the right has a segmental plan and a two-storey bay window with three plate glass sashes. The great hall to the left has two early 20th century windows; the right window has three lights arranged in a 3 by 3 configuration, while the left window has four lights wide by three high, both featuring stone mullions and transoms. The early 20th century porch on the left has a shaped gable adorned with a sun-burst design above a moulded cornice.

Above the entrance, there is a stone cross window inscribed with "PLC & EEC". The entrance itself is flanked by Doric pilasters that rise to a moulded entablature, which features an elliptical window at its center. The entrance below has a moulded architrave with a semi-circular head, and the panelled door, also with a semi-circular head, displays a centrally placed winged cherub's head.

Inside, the house features a semi-circular plan stair hall from the early 19th century, marked by a date of 1808 on a bell at the rear. The cantilevered stair has a wrought iron balustrade. The great hall boasts a roof with five bays supported by arch-braced collar trusses, with two tiers of purlins and cusped wind-braces. A lateral stack on the rear wall features an overmantel with two tiers of arcaded panelling, bearing the date 1654.
