Kentchurch Court, Grade I listed country house in Kentchurch, Herefordshire, England.
The residence extends across a 5,000-acre estate beneath Garway Hill, featuring formal gardens, terraced lawns, and a rhododendron woodland near the Monnow Valley.
The Scudamore family has maintained continuous ownership of Kentchurch Court since 1042, when Ralph Scudamore arrived from Normandy to construct fortifications for Edward the Confessor.
Sir James Scudamore, a champion jouster at Queen Elizabeth I's court, became the inspiration for Edmund Spenser's character Scudamour in The Faerie Queene.
The estate opens its doors to group tours of more than five people, allowing visitors to explore the historical rooms and gardens throughout specific periods.
The house contains original Grinling Gibbons wood carvings transferred from Holme Lacy House and holds a collection of portraits dating to the 16th century.
