Coughton Court
Coughton Court is the ancestral home of the Throckmorton family, one of England's great Catholic gentry families, whose history is inseparable from the Gunpowder Plot of 1605. The Tudor gatehouse is a dramatic centrepiece, and the interiors hold a treasure house of family portraits, vestments, and relics accumulated over five centuries. The walled gardens add a gentler counterpoint to the house's intense, often turbulent history.
