Coughton Court
Coughton Court, Coughton, Alcester, Warwickshire, B49 5JA
Coughton Court has been home to the Throckmorton family for more than 600 years. Facing persecution for their Catholic faith, they were willing to risk everything. You can discover their story and find out about a family’s struggles, perseverance and intrigues, including their link to the infamous Gunpowder Plot. The Throckmorton family still live here and they created and manage the gardens, including a riverside walk, bog garden and beautiful display of roses in the walled garden.
Coughton Court remains open as it undergoes a £3.3m largescale building conservation project until 2025. Explore the history and collections of this magnificent building through new displays in the house and learn more about the project in the Through the Roof exhibition.
There is still more to enjoy away from the house and gardens. An activity shed with games and activities is perfect for keeping little ones busy and for those seeking something a little less energetic take a stroll through the ancient woodland, or a visit to the café for a relaxing cream tea.
