The last remnant of a former medieval monastic grange, this curious crooked dovecote sits prettily in the Worcestershire countryside.

Surviving virtually unaltered since the late 16th century, the picturesque dovecote, retains many of its nesting boxes and original features.

If you're visiting the dovecote make the most of your day by visiting nearby Hanbury Hall or Wichenford Dovecote.

Prior’s Hall Barn is one of the finest surviving medieval barns in the east of England. Its wood is tree-ring dated to the mid-15th century. It boasts a breathtaking aisled interior and crown post roof, the product of some 400 oaks.

In an age when timber was plentiful, and a great barn epitomised the prosperity of a landowner, the building provided scope for the craft of the carpenter on a scale otherwise found only in medieval great halls and church roofs.

The foundations of a small medieval church on Bredenstone Hill, traditionally the site of King John's submission to the Papal Legate in 1213.

The culmination of a lifetime of dreams: salvaged objects and exotic pieces come together in a Jacobean meets Edwardian style. Beautiful, homely, warm and welcoming. We can't put it better than a visitor in the 1920s did: A house to dream of, a garden to dream in.

The house was originally built in the 16th century, yet its interiors were extensively restored between the First and Second World Wars by Graham Baron Ash to create a fascinating 20th-century evocation of domestic Tudor architecture.
