Capesthorne Hall
Recommended by
Overview
Capesthorne has been the home of the Bromley-Davenport family and their ancestors since the Domesday Book. The present house dates from 1719 and was designed by the Smiths of Warwick. It was subsequently altered by Edward Blore in 1837, and after a disastrous fire in 1861 the whole of the centre portion was rebuilt by Anthony Salvin. Capesthorne contains a great variety of sculptures, paintings and other items including a collection of boxes, from a Victorian oak letterbox to hat and cigar boxes. There are also lakeside gardens including swallow hole and ice house. Events run throughout the year.
