[NT] Packwood House. c. 1600 - a photo on Flickriver

            [NT] Packwood House. Warwickshire, England.
A much-restored Tudor House that dates back to 1556. It was was built for John Fetherston, a prosperous Warwickshire farmer. The tall Tudor chimneys remain, although the half-timbered structure has gradually been filled in with brick and rendered over. The adjacent brick stable-block was added by a later member of the family in the 1670s.

The Fetherston family eventually died out in the late 19th century, and the house passed through a number of hands, being allowed to deteriorate further before being bought by industrialist, Alfred Ash, in 1904. He was a second generation industrialist and confirmed suburban dweller, bought at auction the Packwood estate of approximately 134 acres.

Owned by the National Trust since 1941, the house is a Grade I listed building. It has a wealth of tapestries and fine furniture, and is known for the garden of yews.

I thoroughly recommend a visit if you get the chance.
