点评:This was our first visit to Coughton Court near Redditch, and what an absolutely stunning historic property and gardens it is.
Very well organised, clean with history that goes back to Tudor times. So much to see inside and a stunning large garden.
We found super keen and passionate volunteers in each room with incredible knowledge and it wasnt too busy either.
Rooms packed with historical furniture portraits and other artifacts .
The Throckmorton family have lived here since Tudor times and Coughton Court is strongly linked to Katherine of Aragon, Walter Raleigh and the gunpowder plot.To name just a few
We were able to access the tower which has a hidden room for past priests.Then we went onto the roof which had stunning views in each direction.
We were very impressed that Magnus Throckmorton who resides here with his wife and young children. Carried out tray of drinks over to us in their cafe and was very happy to come and chat with us, seemed a lovely man.
I would highly recommend coming here and we will be going back in the summer.
翻译:这是我们第一次参观雷迪奇附近的考顿庄园,它真是一座令人叹为观止的历史建筑和花园。
庄园井然有序,干净整洁,历史可以追溯到都铎王朝时期。内部有很多值得一看的地方,还有一个美丽的大花园。
我们在每个房间里都遇到了热情洋溢、知识渊博的志愿者,而且参观人数也不算多。
房间里摆满了历史悠久的家具、肖像画和其他文物。
索克莫顿家族自都铎王朝时期就居住在这里,考顿庄园与阿拉贡的凯瑟琳、沃尔特·雷利以及火药阴谋等事件有着密切的联系。
我们参观了塔楼,塔楼里有一个供过去神父居住的密室。之后我们登上了屋顶,从那里可以欣赏到各个方向的壮丽景色。
令我们印象深刻的是,马格努斯·索克莫顿和他的妻子以及年幼的孩子们就住在这里。他亲自端着一托盘饮料来到咖啡厅,并非常乐意和我们聊天,看起来是一位和蔼可亲的人。
我强烈推荐大家来这里,我们夏天还会再来。
