Hardwicke Court is a Grade II* listed country house in Hardwicke, Gloucestershire, England.[1] The house is Late Georgian in style. It was designed by Sir Robert Smirke and built in 1816–17,[2] although a canal still remains from the early 18th-century gardens of the Trye family. Hardwicke Court was built for Thomas John Lloyd Baker (sometimes written Lloyd-Baker), widower of Mary Sharp.[3] A bust of Sharp's uncle, abolitionist Granville Sharp, is on display at the house.
