New build
The original house, then named Upper Court, was built in 1759. In the late nineteenth century it was purchased from Sir Robert Lighton by Ebenenzer D. Jordan of Boston, Massachusetts. It was then completely rebuilt and presented to his daughter, Madeline, as a wedding present on her marriage to Colonel A.W. Foster. Colonel and Mrs. Foster lived at Brockhampton Court for over thirty years. The house passed on through marriage to the Clay family before it became a hotel in 1947 under the management and subsequent ownership of Mr. And Mrs. Gerald.B.Tobey. Parker acted as clerk of works
