Madresfield Court
Madresfield Court is a Grade I country house in England, in the village of Madresfield near Malvern in Worcestershire. The stately home, near the village centre, has been the ancestral home for several centuries of the Lygon family, whose eldest sons took the title of Earl Beauchamp from 1815 until 1979, when the last Earl died. Distinguished collections of furniture, art, and porcelain are housed at Madresfield, which was rated by Sir Simon Jenkins among the 50 best in his book on 1,000 historic houses.〔Simon Jenkins (2003) ''England's Thousand Best Houses'', Allen Lane, ISBN 0-7139-9596-3〕
The house is managed by the Elmley Foundation, a British registered charity.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Madresfield Court )〕
== Architectural history ==
The original Great Hall, built in the 12th century, stands at the core of this building. In 1593 Madresfield Court was rebuilt, replacing a 15th-century medieval building. It was again remodelled in the 19th century to resemble a moated Elizabethan house, with the result that it contains 136 rooms. The chapel was designed by the architect Philip Charles Hardwick and sumptuously decorated in the Arts and Crafts style by Birmingham Group artists including Henry Payne, William Bidlake and Charles March Gere.
