Baddesley Clinton
From Free net encyclopedia
The moated manor house of Baddesley Clinton (Template:Gbmapping), just north of the historic town of Warwick in the English county of Warwickshire, was probably established sometime in the 13th century. When large areas of the Forest of Arden were cleared and eventually converted to farmland, this large fortified manor house was probably also built.
In 1438, John Brome, the Under Treasurer of England, bought the manor. It then passed to his son and then to his son's daughter, who married Sir Edmond Ferrers. The house remained in the ownership of the Ferrers family until 1940 when it was transferred to the National Trust.
