Croome Court, Grade I listed house museum in Croome D'Abitot, England
Description
Croome Court is an 18th-century mansion with corner towers topped by pyramidal roofs and plain rendered exterior walls. The interior rooms were designed by architect Robert Adam and show his distinctive approach to space and decoration.
History
Construction began in 1760 as one of the first major building projects by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown for the 6th Earl of Coventry. The estate combines both architecture and landscape design, showing Brown's influence on English country house design.
