Packwood House, House museum in Lapworth, United Kingdom.
Description
Packwood House is a timber-framed Tudor manor in Lapworth featuring traditional English gardens and multiple exhibition rooms throughout. The building holds extensive collections of period furnishings and decorative objects filling its various spaces.
History
The house was built between 1556 and 1560 as a farmhouse for John Fetherston but underwent major changes when Graham Baron Ash acquired it in 1925. These transformations shaped the appearance and contents that visitors see today.
Culture
Inside you'll find furniture from the 16th and 17th centuries, many pieces coming from the neighboring Baddesley Clinton estate. The rooms show how wealthy families lived and what they valued during that period.
Practical
The National Trust manages the property and offers guided tours along with accessible facilities for visitors. Parking is available year-round, and visiting during the regular opening season provides the best experience.
Did you know?
The grounds feature a symbolic Yew Garden with over 100 trees arranged to represent The Sermon on the Mount, with trees for the twelve Apostles and four Evangelists. This garden is a quiet, artistic arrangement that expresses the text visually.
