Crowcombe Court in Crowcombe, Somerset, England is a large country house dating from 1724 to 1739. It is Grade I listed.^[1]

It was built, in English regional baroque style,^[2] by Thomas Parker, for Thomas Carew,^[3] and finished by Nathaniel Ireson of Wincanton, after Carew found that Parker had taken old coins, found while demolishing the old house.^[4] Minor alterations were carried out by Edward Middleton Barry around 1870.^[1]

The house has amber coloured bricks complemented by Bath stone pilasters and frontispiece.^[5] The interior includes plasterwork by Grinling Gibbons.^[6] The house was described by Nikolaus Pevsner as "the finest house of its date in Somerset south of the Bath area".^[7]^[8]

Brympton School, previously at Brympton d'Evercy, occupied Crowcombe Court between 1974 and 1976.^[9] It has also been used as a nursing home.^[3]

The previous owners of the house David and Kate Kenyon purchased the property in 2011. Kate is a direct descendant of James Morrison.

The gardens and parkland are listed, Grade II, on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens of special historic interest in England.^[10]

As of 2019, Crowcombe Court is owned by The Gilchrist Collection and is used as a Wedding Venue.^[11]
