Packwood House

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

A lovely Tudor mansion famous for its topiary garden. Packwood House has its origins in the 15th century, but it is the major rebuilding of 1556-60 that we see today. The core of the house is a two-storey high square block. To this was added a 17th century long, low wing, forming an L shape.

The older section of the house is timber framed, but the remainder of the house is primarily of brick, indeed, it may be one of the best examples of brickwork in the Midlands.

The interiors of Packwood are opulent, and feature collections of tapestries and stained glass. The house was much restored between the World Wars by Graham Ash to creatye a 20th century interpretation of Tudor living.

The gardens feature a 17th century Yew Garden with topiary carefully crafted to depict the Sermon on the Mount. The garden terrace wall contains 18th century bee boles, cavities that served as a forerunner to beehives. The walled garden is planted for superb colour display throughout the Spring, Summer, and Autumn.

There are open air theatre events throughout the year, and special out-of-hours guided tours of the house by written arrangement.
