One of our most beautiful local National Trust properties.
Arthur Mee, in The King's England (1949), writes: "It lies hidden in the very heart of Warwickshire, like a jewel.... Almost hidden by trees is the house, with a wide moat that may have been here since Norman times and is crossed by a bridge about 200 years old. As gracious a house as we could wish to find in Old England, it has venerable walls and an embattled gate-tower with all the charm the Tudor builders could give them, mullioned windows, timbered gables, and tall brick chimneys."
