Today we visited one of the National Trust's treasures, Coughton Court, an English Tudor country house near Alcester. Since 1409 this interesting historical mansion has been a home to the Throckmortons, one of the UK's oldest catholic families. It is a massive mansion that would suit a really large family. To my surprise, I've learned that till October 2017 it was occupied by just one person, baroness Clare McLaren-Throckmorton.
I was not only intrigued by the history of the Throckmorton family associated with Walter Raleigh and Guy Fawkes, but I also liked the architecture of the house and its spectacular gardens. We spent a pleasant couple of hours walking around the grounds and enjoying the beautiful scenery. We took a lot of pictures and below is a selection for you to enjoy and perhaps encourage you to visit this beautiful country house yourself.
