Historic Country House in Herefordshire
Moccas Court is widely thought of as Herefordshire's finest stately home and this is not surprising when you consider that the original owners employed the services of the most sought-after designers and architects of the day to work on this Grade 1 listed English country house. The plans for the new house were originally commissioned from the architects Robert and John Adam. These were subsequently replaced by a design by the Gloucestershire-based architect Anthony Keck, incorporating much of the Adam style. Landscape designers such as Lancelot "Capability" Brown were in great demand, and in 1778 Capability Brown was commissioned to produce a design for Moccas Court. The lawns in front of the house owe much to another famous landscape gardener of the period, Humphrey Repton. In 1792 the porch was added to the house below the fine Venetian window, and the distinctive estate lodges were built in 1801 and 1804 to designs from the office of John Nash.
