Newbold Revel

Newbold Revel refers to an existing 18th-century country house and a historic manorial estate in North East Warwickshire.

The current house was built in 1716 for Sir Fulwar Skipwith, 2nd Baronet and was constructed of brick in three stories to an H-shaped plan with an 11-bay frontage.

[3] Their son was Sir Thomas Malory, probable author of Le Morte d'Arthur and MP for Warwickshire from 1443 to circa 1446.

His great-grandson Nicholas sold the property, after which it passed through a succession of private hands, including those of the builder of the present house, Sir Fulwar Skipwith.

[4][5] The estate was purchased in 1863 by Edward Wood and descended to his grandson before being acquired in 1898 by Colonel Heath, a Staffordshire brick manufacturer, and in 1911 by the banker and philanthropist, Leo Bernard William Bonn, who founded and endowed (1911) what became the RNID.
