Introduction:
The Throckmortons have lived at Coughton since 1409 when the first Throckmorton came here from Throckmorton village near Hadbury, Worcestershire in 1409. It is believed that there was a medieval house on this site then and the church next to the house was built in about 1450.
The Throckmortons were royalists during the Civil War (1630 - 1637) but the house was captured and occupied by the parliamentarians who sacked it when they left. The baronetcy was granted to the family in 1642. |
