Goodrich Court, Goodrich, Herefordshire, England was a 19th-century, neo-gothic mock castle built by the antiquarian Sir Samuel Rush Meyrick in 1828. Designed by the architect Edward Blore, the court is described by Pevsner as a "fantastic and enormous tower-bedecked house." The court's situation, on a hilltop facing Goodrich Castle, so offended the poet William Wordsworth that he wished "to blow away Sir Samuel Meyrick's impertinent structure and all the possessions it contained." Meyrick built the court to house his very significant collection of armour and antiquities, much of which subsequently passed to the British Museum and to the Wallace Collection.
