Longbridge Manor

Highlight • Historical Site

A Brief History of Longbridge Manor In the reign of King John (1199-1216) this property belonged to the Friars of Thellesford and the existing rear part of the house dates back to this period. It was confiscated, along with other property owned by the Friars, on the orders of Henry VIII on 26 October 1539. On 20 September 1540 the Crown granted the property to Thomas Staunton who proceeded to convert the Old Hall into a dwelling house, dividing it into three floors and adding a staircase. The Staunton family (known as the Stauntons of Longbridge) were a branch of the Stauntons of Staunton in Nottinghamshire. The oldest part of this irregular house is a 16th century, timber framed wing, (currently known as the Tudor Wing) which appears to represent the hall range of a house mentioned in an inventory of 1616. This wing and many other additions, including the Queen Anne frontage, were built by the Staunton family who owned the property until 1913. There is a story that the oak timbers in the Tudor Wing may originate from Henry VIII’s fleet of ships. When a ship became redundant it was often broken up and the seasoned oak used in houses. There are a number of reports that the Manor has its very own ghost. A young girl, who appears to be about 11 years old, is said to sit on a window sill in the Tudor Wing. The large Training Room was originally the music room (hence the curved ceiling and the minstrel’s gallery) and was added in 1938. We have information on how the Manor looked in 1959 from auction sale particulars, in which the Manor was described as: “The Charming Queen Anne, medium sized, country residence. One of the most pleasant and interesting of the smaller country houses of Warwickshire, abounding in character and modernised to provide a compact unit of accommodation.”

West Gate, Warwick

Highlight • Bridge

West Gate is a grade I listed stone archway that dates back to the 12th Century. Located at the junction of the High Street and Bowling Green Street in Warwick town centre, the structure was one of three gates through Warwick’s medieval town wall and supports St James Chapel which forms part of the Lord Leycester Hospital. The A429 High Street passes to the south of the structure but the pedestrian footway passes through the archway.

The archway is constructed from a type of sandstone that is susceptible to a form of erosion called contour scaling. This results in a hardened crust breaking away from the face of the stone revealing a softer granular layer beneath. Much of West Gate’s masonry is heavily eroded, particularly on the outside elevation that faces the High Street and the vaulted section of the archway, beneath the chapel’s bell tower.

Highlight • Other

The arch was built in the 14th century and it was part of a medieval town wall, topped by a Chapel later on. Today, the Chapel is rented out as an apartment. We were lucky to be invited by tenants to their balcony and take some stunning pictures of Warwick's golden hour.

Thomas Oken Tea Rooms

Highlight • Cafe

Set in the small historic town of Warwick, against the Castle wall, this beautiful old house was built over 500 years ago by Thomas Oken, a wealthy and philanthropic merchant and Mayor of the town. Nowadays it is a quintessential English tea room serving a whole range of hot and cold refreshments, including their renowned Cream Teas and Afternoon Teas, served with a choice of over 30 fine loose leaf teas. I would thoroughly recommend stopping and enjoying the food, drink and atmosphere here.
