Description: This beautiful house dates from the 16th century, although it has been altered and added to over the centuries, and the gardens and parkland were landscaped during the 18th century by 'Capability' Brown.  Once you've been impressed by the beautifully furnished house, don't forget to visit the old kitchens and brew-house.  It is rumoured that Shakespeare was caught poaching in the grounds, as a young man, and was brought to the Great Hall at Charlecote Park  where he was probably fined - or worse.  He subsequently fled to London to make a living there instead - and the rest is history...!
