Baddesley Clinton has been home to the Ferrers family for over 500 years, beginning with John Brome, who purchased the estate in the late 15th century. The manor was then passed down through the Ferrers line, with each generation contributing to its development and preservation. The house is notable for its role as a Catholic refuge during the English Reformation, providing sanctuary to persecuted Catholics and harboring priests in secret hiding places.
The gardens at Baddesley Clinton are beautifully maintained and complement the historic house.
