Wichenford Court, located in Worcestershire, England, is a historic heritage site that holds significant architectural and historical value. The Court is a Grade II listed building and is known for its stunning Jacobean-style architecture. It was constructed in the early 17th century and has retained much of its original charm and character.

The building is constructed of red brick with stone dressings, giving it a distinctive and elegant appearance. It features a symmetrical façade with mullioned and transomed windows, projecting gables, and a central porch with a classical entrance. The interior of Wichenford Court is equally impressive, with its grand oak staircase, intricately carved fireplaces, and ornate plasterwork.

Throughout its history, Wichenford Court has been associated with several notable figures, including the Talbot family, who owned the estate for many generations. The Court was also a frequent meeting place for local dignitaries and played a role in the social and political life of the region.

The site is surrounded by picturesque gardens and grounds, offering visitors a peaceful and scenic environment. The gardens feature well-manicured lawns, mature trees, and flower beds, making it an ideal spot for a leisurely stroll or a picnic.

Today, Wichenford Court serves as a private residence, but it has also been utilized for various events and functions. Its historical significance, combined with its architectural beauty, make it a cherished heritage site in Worcestershire, attracting visitors interested in exploring the region's rich history and cultural heritage.

Trees near Kenswick Manor First impressions suggest the clump of trees on the left are on the site of a tumulus, I thought I could even see a standing stone.  A quick look at the OS map reveals nothing and then I look through my binoculars and realise what I think is a standing stone is the stump of a large felled dead tree.
