Summary

Nash presents a handsome east façade of brick, with five bays and two-and-a-half-storeys beneath a hipped roof and parapet. The first floor centre window is crowned by a broken pediment raised on Tuscan pilasters, which appears to be the original doorcase, whilst below stands an early nineteenth-century portico carried on pairs of Tuscan columns. The house is a sizeable block, with the east front extending over five well-spaced bays, and it appears to date from the 1780s. Nash was probably built or rebuilt for George Pardoe (1756–1798) of Cleeton and Nash Court who had married Ellen, the daughter of Richard Dansey Dansey of Easton Court in Herefordshire. The Pardoes had been in the Cleeton area for two hundred years prior to that and remained seated at Nash until the early twentieth century. The estate’s then owner, the Rev. George Southey Pardoe (1877–1918), one-time Vicar and Chaplain to Lord Muncaster in Cumberland, was killed on active service in the First World War. His brother Francis (b. 1881) inherited and made the decision to part with the house.

Nash Court became a college and was for a time occupied by the National Association for Boys Clubs, remaining an educational institution for most of the twentieth century. In 1994 the house once more became a private residence.
