Richard Perceval, who was born at Nailsea Court deciphered Spanish documents for Queen Elizabeth about the Spanish Armada invasion plans. In 1693, the court was purchased by Nathaniel Wade. He supported James Scott, 1st Duke of Monmouth in the Monmouth Rebellion and was defeated at the Battle of Sedgemoor. He was condemned to death at Taunton by Judge Jefferys. After being interviewed by King James, in the Tower of London, Major Wade was pardoned and returned home to Nailsea. During the 19th century, the court was used as a farmhouse and fell into disrepair. Charles Edward Evans purchased the Court in 1906 and undertook restoration, including the reconstruction of the west wing carried out by Arthur Stratton. The Manorial Tithe Barn behind the house was used during World War I as a convalescent ward for sailors from Naval hospitals and the fireplaces in the main house had brick insets built to reduce their size and conserve coal.
