Today we went to Coughton Court which is just down the road from the caravan site. It dates back to Tudor times and is the home of the Throckmorton family who feature heavily in Tudor history. As Catholics they were involved in a plot to overthrow the protestant Elizabeth I and replace her with the Catholic Mary Queen of Scots and they were also involved in the gunpowder plot as several of the plotters were related to the Throckmorton family.
There were lots of visitors and a long wait to go into the house so we went for a walk around the grounds. We even ventured through the wood and thank goodness there were no caterpillars this time!
We also found out what happens to the lovely deer we saw yesterday at Charlecote Park!
