Coker Court in East Coker, Somerset, England was built in the 15th century and has been designated as a Grade I listed building. The Courtney family were lords of the manor in the 14th and 15th centuries. They built the present building, on the site of an earlier house during the early part of the 15th century. In 1616 it was bought by archdeacon Helyar who added to the structure of the building. William Helyar supported the king during the English Civil war.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/SOM/EastCoker/ )〕 His descendent, another William Helyar, was Member of Parliament for Somerset in 1715.
