Welcome to Charlecote Park
Charlecote Park has been home to the Lucy family for over 800 years. Built in the 1550s with warm red
bricks and decorated in Warwickshire stone,the house has a fascinating history. This history includes a royal
visit from Queen Elizabeth I and the arrest and trial of a local young man called William Shakespeare.

suggest that you listen to the introductory talk (held most days, every 30minutes) or watch the video in the
Gatehouse.There are room attendants in most rooms who will be happy to answer any questions.
The gardens are interesting all year round and include the parterres (gardens with psths between the beds)
in the west front and beautifully cut lawns.
The outbuildings are a must during your visit. Please take time to visit the Victorian kitchens, laundry, wine
house and carriage collections all open at 10∶30 am and close at 5∶30 pm.
