Coughton Court, Tudor country house in Alcester, England
The Tudor gatehouse at Coughton Court features hexagonal turrets, oriel windows, and intricate Renaissance architectural details from the 16th century.
The Throckmorton family has maintained continuous residence at Coughton Court since 1409, experiencing significant events including connections to the Gunpowder Plot of 1605.
The house contains numerous Catholic artifacts, including a priest hole for hiding clergy and a chemise reportedly worn by Mary Queen of Scots.
The National Trust manages Coughton Court, which opens from March to November and includes 25 acres of gardens with formal planted areas.
Two churches of different denominations stand within the estate grounds, reflecting the religious complexity of English history during the Tudor period.
