Kingscote Park, English country house in Kingscote, England
Kingscote Park is a country house in Gloucestershire that sits on extensive grounds near Tetbury. The building displays traditional architectural elements and is surrounded by rolling fields and countryside views.
The original manor house belonged to the Kingscote family from the 12th century until its demolition in 1951. The building materials were then reused for local construction projects in the area.
The estate grounds contained one of England's finest racecourses until 1825 and hosted numerous prize fights in its secluded dell.
The property is now converted into holiday accommodations and retains its Grade II listed status. Visitors should be aware that any structural changes require special permissions due to heritage protection regulations.
Edward Jenner met his future wife Catherine Kingscote at the estate when his experimental balloon landed in the grounds.
