Whittington Court

Whittington Court is an Elizabethan manor house, five miles east of Cheltenham in Gloucestershire, England.

[1] The origins of the site are unclear, but probably date back to Anglo-Saxon times; however, in 1948 the remains of a Roman villa were found in an adjacent field.

[3] Subsequently, passed to Sir John Denham, who married Anne Cotton and died 1669,[4] and was Surveyor General to Charles II.

It then passed through the female line to the Earls of Derby and by the mid-late 18th century belonged to Thomas Tracey the Member of Parliament for Gloucester, who died in 1770.

[5] The interior of the house is Elizabethan and contain two carved overmantels from Sevenhampton Manor - one showing the arms of Lawrence Washington (1602–1652) (the stars and stripes).
