Croome Court

This mansion house in Worcestershire was designed by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown in one of his rare architectural projects. It was built in the 1750's for George Coventry, 6th Earl of Coventry. It has been visited by three monarchs, George III, Victoria and George V. and housed the Dutch Royal Family during World War II. After being sold by the Coventry family in the 1940's it became a school and was the UK headquarters of the Hare Krishna movement between 1979 and 1984. It is now owned by the National Trust
