Coughton Court has been the home of the Throckmorton family since 1409. It holds a unique place in English history with its close connections to the gunpowder plot of 1605. The house stands in 25 acres of grounds containing some of the most breathtaking gardens in the country. It was Clare McLaren-Throckmorton's intention to create a garden that complements the beautiful house, and to give it the setting it deserves. She also wanted to create a wide variety of gardens: formal and informal, traditional and innovative. The gardens are now mature and varied and are solely managed by the Throckmorton family. for more detailed information on the gardens and their history please visit http://www.coughtoncourt.co.uk.
