Charlecote Park dates back to the Norman Conquest. The names of Charlecote and Lucy (Luce) come from two families who travelled across with the conquest. The first Sir Thomas Lucy constructed the current house in 1551. Queen Elizabeth was entertained here in 1572. The house is in Elizabethan Revival style.

Shakespeare is said to have been caught poaching in the grounds of the Deer Park. The grounds are by 'Capability Brown' and make for excellent walking.
