Baddesley Clinton

There a few places I ought to go  but I decided I wasn't going to drive far and headed to Charlecote but at the time it was closed due to power issues so I headed off to Baddesley Clinton. Amazingly I haven't been there since 2021!!

Baddesley is a small medieval moated manor house. There is a medieval church close by, I would have walked there but the rain started and I headed off instead.

This volunteer fed the ducks... 

It had been a bright day but the clouds came so I wandered off. Baddesley opens at 9 so maybe next time I'm up. I ought to get here for breakfast and combine with Packwood.

Croome Court

As I haven't been to Croome in a while....

Croome has had a checkered history. The house was used as a Hari Krishna centre a catholic boys school and has been leased to the national trust. The house contents are gon3 but some like the bookcases are being put back. The grounds are much improved since i first visited.

During WWII RAF Defford was based there and there is a small museum. Th3 redundant church was the work of Capability Brown and Robert Adam.

I'm not sure if the low water of the lake is due to drought or restoration of the bridges.
