Stowell Park, Country house in Yanworth, England

Stowell Park spans 6,000 acres across the Cotswold Hills, featuring an L-shaped main house with an Elizabethan west front of five bays and crenellated roofs.

The construction of the current house began in 1600 for Robert Atkinson, replacing an earlier manor recorded in 1086 that belonged to the Archbishop of York.

The estate includes the Church of St Leonard, which contains fragments of twelfth-century wall paintings and served as the chapel for the prior manor.

The estate opens its terraced lawns, herbaceous borders, and walled gardens filled with fruits and flowers to visitors through the National Gardens Scheme.

During World War II, the estate provided shelter for evacuees from Great Ballard School and later developed into a sporting venue with pheasant shoots.
