Benthall Hall is a beautiful Elizabethan house with lavishly decorated interiors. There is some dispute over when exactly the house was built - some sources claim 1535, but a more likely date is around 1583, which is much more in line with the style of the house.

Dudmaston is a 17th-century country house in Queen Anne style, built by Sir Thomas Wolryche (1672-1701) and filled with a superb art collection, including ceramics and Dutch art. The Hall was built around 1695-1700, with some remodelling in the period between 1820 and 1840. It is not known for certain who designed the house, but Francis Smith of Warwick is one reasonable theory.
