Clevedon Court: 700 Years in One House | National Trust | Somerset, UK

Step inside Clevedon Court, one of the oldest continually inhabited houses in England and a true hidden gem of the National Trust. This Grade I listed medieval manor has stood beneath the wooded slopes of Court Hill for over 700 years, shaped by the de Clevedons, the Wakes, the Digbys, and the Elton family — who still live here today. In this video, we explore Clevedon Court’s remarkable history, from its 14th century Great Hall and atmospheric Screens Passage to the Victorian staircase, the intimate medieval chapel, and the shimmering Eltonware pottery collection. We also take you through the beautiful 18th century terraced gardens, praised by Gertrude Jekyll as “one of the noblest ranges of terraced walls in England,” with sweeping views across the Mendip Hills. Whether you’re planning a visit or simply love discovering historic houses, Clevedon Court offers a rare glimpse into seven centuries of English life. Join us on our National Trust Grand Tour as we uncover the stories, craftsmanship, and character that make this place so special.
