Built in 1897 by Robert Mather JP, for his own use. the house was considered to be one of the finest in the district. The Mather family occupied the house until its sale, by auction in 1945. The name of ‘Courtfield’ was suggested by a family friend, Rev Fr Bernard Vaughan. The Vaughan’s ancestral home in Gloucestershire was called ‘Courtfield’, it had been in the family since 1570.
The Coach House at the rear housed four carriages, two horses and the coachman.
