Shadwell Court

Shadwell Court is a country house in Brettenham, Norfolk, England, dating originally from the 18th century. Built for the Buxton baronets, the house was massively enlarged in two stages in the 19th century; in 1840–42 by Edward Blore and then in 1856–60 by Samuel Sanders Teulon. The house and ground

s now form part of the Shadwell Nunnery Stud, owned by Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum until his death in March 2021. Shadwell Court is a Grade I listed building and was called a "work of genius" and "a dazzling display of Victorian fireworks" by historian Mark Girouard. In 2019, the court was included in the Heritage at Risk Register due to concerns over the deterioration of its fabric.
