Piers Court

Piers Court is a historic country house located in Stinchcombe, Gloucestershire, England, renowned for its association with the famous novelist Evelyn Waugh, who resided there from 1937 to 1956. Built at the end of the 18th century in a Palladian style, the house features elegant local stone architecture and incorporates elements from an earlier 16th-century structure. Waugh penned several of his notable works, including 'Brideshead Revisited,' during his time at Piers Court. The property, a Grade II* listed building, has a rich history, including a notable libel case involving journalists in the 1950s. Recently sold at auction in December 2022, Piers Court continues to attract interest for its literary heritage and architectural significance.
