Listed Building record MDO4282 - Nash Court, Marnhull

'(31) Nash Court (78151967), house, 5/8m. N. of the parish church, is two-storied with attics and has walls of ashlar and coarsed rubble, and slated roofs. Although the house was the birth-place of the artist Giles Hussey in 1710, the present structure appears to be almost entirely of the late 19th century, albeit in Tudor style. Nevertheless, the thickness of the E., W. and S. walls of a gabled wing which projects from the S. front towards its E. end show that part of an earlier building is incorporated in the present house; these walls are up to 4 ft. in thickness and have chamfered plinths 6 ft. high; they are probably of the 16th or 17th century. The W. wall of the projecting wing contains an 18th century window, now blocked. Inside the house, one room has late 18th century panelling and other rooms have dados of reset 17th century oak panelling'. (1)
