Postgraduate study Corsham Court in Wiltshire home to Bath School of Art and Design (Academy of Art) part of Bath Spa University
The present house was initially built in 1582 for a Mr. Thomas Smythe. The initial construction is still a key part of the overall makeup of the building as it stands today. The Methuen family purchased the building in 1747. With very little of the Elizabethan structure remaining, the house was substantially rebuilt and extended during the mid and late 1700s. Currently Corsham Court is in the private ownership of the eighth generation of the Methuen family. Corsham Court became the "home" of the Bath Academy of Art (the Bath School of Art and Design, a part of Bath Spa University) in 1946 from which time many key figures of the British Modernist Art Movement were either teachers or students. The Court has recently re-opened as the University's Campus for Postgraduate Practice, Research and Educational Development.
