About

Goodrich Court is a castle in south. (Castle in Goodrich, Herefordshire.) Wikipedia notes: "Goodrich Court, Goodrich, Herefordshire, England was a 19th-century, neo-gothic mock castle built by the antiquarian Sir Samuel Rush Meyrick in 1828. Designed by the architect Edward Blore, the court is described by Pevsner as a 'fantastic and enormous tower-bedecked house.' The court's situation, on a hilltop facing Goodrich Castle, so offended the poet William Wordsworth that he wished 'to blow away Sir Samuel Meyrick's impertinent structure and all the possessions it contained.'".
