A trip back in time (literally) with some R Images from a visit (in 2019) to Coughton Court, Alcester, Warwickshire, England.

(Shot raw and processed using: DxO PhotoLab Elite/ ViewPoint and Adobe Lightroom Classic/ Photoshop).

Phil and Karen


1. Twenty-one generations of the Throckmorton family have lived at Coughton Court since 1409 and the family still live here (though the house and estate are owned and managed by the National Trust).

2. Coughton Court has many stories to tell - including a plot to murder Queen Elizabeth in 1583 and its involvement in ‘the gunpowder plot’ of 1605.

That's quite the stately estate. Nicely captured.
Hi David,

Cheers - much appreciated! It's a fascinating place to wander around, with an equally fascinating history and beautifully tended gardens/ grounds.

When we drove past recently the front was covered in scaffolding/ tarpaulin - presumably ongoing conservation work and hopefully only temporary.

(It deserves another visit at some point with our current camera tech).

Wonder photos and a great deal of English history all in one place.

Hi Mike,

That's very kind of you - much appreciated!

For such a neat, tidy and placid looking place, Coughton Court certainly has an intriguing and dynamic history.
