Moyles Court House Moyles Court School

Moyles Court House, now Moyles Court School, is a medium-sized country house dating from the late 17th century, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building is constructed of brick in English bond, with some stone windows and an old plain tile roof. It has an H-plan layout, featuring a central block that is seven bays wide and two stories tall, with a tall roof and attic. There are two-story and attic wings at each end, each two bays wide at the front and one bay wide at the rear.

The front of the house has a wide central doorcase that is two-thirds glazed, framed by an architrave, panelled pilasters, and moulded brackets supporting a pediment. The central windows are stone and cruciform in design, and there is a raised band running around the first floor. The wings have rusticated brick quoins, with the left-hand wing displaying painted cruciform windows and blank panels that are painted to resemble windows. The front features 16-pane flush-frame sashes with wide glazing bars. The right-hand wing has an inner bay with painted windows on blind panels, while the other bay and the front have four-pane flush-frame sashes. The wing windows are topped with rubbed arches, and there is a heavy plaster cornice.

The roof is hipped, with five hip-roofed two-light dormers in the center and smaller similar dormers on each wing. Arched-panel stacks are located at the center behind the ridge, with a double stack behind the ridge at the right-hand end, a large square double stack on the left-hand wing, and one on the outside of the right-hand window. The interior is noted in Country Life, Volume 26, pages 876-878. The house was once the home of Lady Alice Lisle, who was executed by Judge Jeffries for sheltering men from the Duke of Monmouth's army after the Battle of Sedgemoor.
