The Manor House in West Coker, Somerset, England has medieval origins, however the earliest surviving portions of the current building probably date from around 1500. It has been designated as a Grade I listed building.[1]
The earlier manor house on the site was destroyed by fire in 1457, and rebuilt with local Ham stone between 1473 and 1500. The house was acquired by the Portman Family of Orchard Portman in 1591 who remodelled it around 1600 and held it until 1829 by which time it was a tenanted farmhouse. The house was purchased by an architect, John Moore, in 1875, who carried out various restoration and rebuilding until he died in 1878, when the work was continued by his brother. Sir Aston Webb rebuilt the South East wing in 1910.[1]
