Fullands Court, Taunton
|
Fullands House, a fine late Georgian building, is the centre piece of Fullands Court, which changed its ownership and its use many times over the years: at different times housing military commanders; friars; lunatics and for much of its later life school boys, amongst whom was General Gordon of Khartoum. From 1946 it was part of Kings College. Fullands was also closely associated with the formation of the Somerset County Cricket Club, hosting the first matches ever played there by the county.
