Adjacent to the house is the Whittington parish church which dates from the 12th century and now dedicated to St Bartholomew.[1] The origins of the site are unclear, but probably date back to Anglo-Saxon times; however, in 1948 the remains of a Roman villa were found in an adjacent field.[2] The current building was probably begun by Richard Cotton's son John Cotton in 1556 on an earlier moated site. It was completed in anticipation of Queen Elizabeth I's visit to the house in 1592 en route to Sudeley Castle.[3] Subsequently passed to Sir John Denham, who married Anne Cotton and died 1669,[4] and was Surveyor General to Charles II. It then passed through the female line to the Earls of Derby and by the mid-late 18th century belonged to Thomas Tracey the Member of Parliament for Gloucester, who died in 1770. Misses Timbrell and Mrs. Rebecca Lighbourne inherited the property but left no heir, the house passing to Mr. Walter Lawrence Morris and subsequently to his descendants who adopted the name Lawrence. Alterations and additions were made in the 16th, late 17th and early 18th centuries. In the mid-eighteenth century the estate was sold and became part of the Sandywell Park estate. The kitchen wing was added 1929. It is a grade I listed building.[5] The interior of the house is Elizabethan and contain two carved overmantels from Sevenhampton Manor - one showing the arms of Lawrence Washington (1602–1655) (the stars and stripes).[6] A barn dated 1614[7] and stable block are both grade II listed.[8] Since 1972 a disused gardener's cottage at Whittington Court has been the home to The Whittington Press.[9] References1. ^{{cite web | title= Church of St. Bartholomew | work=Images of England | url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/details/default.aspx?id=129243 | accessdate=2006-12-31}} {{coord|51|53|4|N|1|58|57|W|type:landmark|display=title}}2. ^{{cite web|title=Whittington Court Roman Villa, Glos.: A Report of the Excavations undertaken from 1948 to 1951 |work=Bristol and Gloucestershire Archaeological Society |url=http://www.glos.ac.uk/bgas/tbgas/v071/bg071013.pdf |accessdate=2006-12-31 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927230050/http://www.glos.ac.uk/bgas/tbgas/v071/bg071013.pdf |archivedate=September 27, 2007 }} 3. ^{{cite web | title=Whittington Court | work=Historic Houses of Gloucestershire | url=http://www.touruk.co.uk/houses/Whittington-Court-Gloucestershire.htm | accessdate=2006-12-31}} 4. ^{{cite journal | title=The Cottons at Whittington Court | journal=Architectural History, Vol. 44, Essays in Architectural History Presented to John Newman (2001), pp. 303-309 | jstor=1568759 }} 5. ^{{cite web | title=Whittington Court | work=Images of England | url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/details/default.aspx?id=129247 | accessdate=2006-12-31}} 6. ^{{cite web|title=Whittington Court |work=Historic Houses Association |url=http://www.hha.org.uk/index.php?page=87&ContentID=88 |accessdate=2006-12-31 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20061003165308/http://www.hha.org.uk/index.php?page=87&ContentID=88 |archivedate=2006-10-03 |deadurl=yes |df= }} 7. ^{{cite web | title=Barn c65m north-west of Whittington Court | work=Images of England | url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/details/default.aspx?id=129249 | accessdate=2006-12-31}} 8. ^{{cite web | title=Stable block c65m west of Whittington Court | work=Images of England | url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/details/default.aspx?id=129248 | accessdate=2006-12-31}} 9. ^{{cite web | title=Whittington Press Collection | work=University of Gloucestershire | url=http://www.glos.ac.uk/life/libraries/pages/special-collections-and-archives.aspx | accessdate=2015-07-17}} 6 : Grade I listed houses|Grade I listed buildings in Gloucestershire|Grade II listed buildings in Gloucestershire|Country houses in Gloucestershire|Houses completed in 1556|1556 establishments in England |
