Ufton Court is an Elizabethan manor house at Ufton Nervet in the English county of Berkshire. Today is it used by an educational charity, The Ufton Court Educational Trust. Other than historical education, the site hosts creative projects too including theatre and music courses.
Parts of the house date from the 15th century. In 1567 it was modified by Richard Perkins and his family who were Catholic. The house is notable for its priest holes where Recusant Catholics could hide priests and vestments and could hear mass in the house.

Famous quotes containing the word court:
“GOETHE, raised o’er joy and strife,
Drew the firm lines of Fate and Life,
And brought Olympian wisdom down
To court and mar, to gown and town,
Stooping, his finger wrote in clay
The open secret of to-day.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
