Or is it Old Down? Either way it was impossible to resist sharing this: "The origin of The Court is far from clear and is clouded with rumour. It is strategically placed at the edge of the Mendip Hills with commanding views to the North. Previously known as The Thousand Pound House, Perry's Coffee Rooms and Lynch Hill House, the current name is generally accepted to be associated with possible Court Trials (Judge Jeffrey's etc). A picture of the Judge Jeffrey that was previously hung in the famous Wig & Pen Club, Fleet Street, London now greets guests as they enter the hotel lounge area."
