Itton Court is a country house in Itton, Monmouthshire. Of mediæval origins, additions and alterations were made from the 18th to the 20th centuries.[1] It was originally fortified as an outstation of Chepstow Castle, but all that remains of this is the probably 14th-century entrance tower. From the 18th until the mid-20th century it was the home of the Curre family, major landowners, who purchased the estate in 1749.[2] It is a Grade II* listed building.[3] The Court is now divided into separate apartments.
