Fyne Court is a National Trust-owned nature reserve and visitor centre in Broomfield, Bridgwater, Somerset, England.
Originally the house pleasure grounds of pioneer 19th-century electrician, Andrew Crosse, whose family had owned the house from its construction. It burnt down in 1898.[1] His laboratory table on which he carried out experiments stands in the aisle of the Church of St. Mary and All Saints in Broomfield and an obelisk in his memory is in the churchyard.[2]
Fyne Court has been in the ownership of the National Trust since 1967. The Quantock Hills AONB and Somerset Wildlife Trust have their headquarters at the house.
