A medieval moated manor house in the Forest of Arden that hid Catholic priests in the 1590s; three priest holes can still be seen. The house's interiors were shaped by the Ferrers family and by the romantic Victorians who lived here.


The gardens, lake walk and Packwood House, with its garden of yews, a short walk away make a good pairing.
