Warners Littlecote House - Royal Berkshire
Monday 22nd November 2010
Littlecote House, on the borders of the Cotswolds, is a superb Grade 1 listed 16th century Tudor mansion in a spectacular setting. Hosting Tudor monarchs, Civil War captains and Regency nobles and an occasional friendly ghost, it was here that Henry Vlll courted Jane Seymour. It has an awe-inspiring Great Hall, Dutch Parlour, Cromwellian chapel and spiral Jerusalem stairs leading to the troops’ quarters and Long Gallery. There are 113 acres of land, 40 of which are landscaped gardens including the Lime Tree Avenue as you arrive. There is also a unique Roman Orpheus mosaic and remains of the villa in its grounds. We visit the picturesque village of Hungerford famous for its antiques shops, and Marlborough steeped with history from the Neolithic times onwards. Also Blenheim Palace, home to the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough and the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill, offers a memorable day out.
