Whichford House

During the English Civil War, the house was damaged by the Roundheads after the incumbent recruit preached against Cromwell.

The classical frontage of the house was commenced in 1740 but not completed until 2006 with the addition of the West Wing.

[2] In the medieval dining room, above the inglenook, is a Schist carving which dates from the time of Christ and originates from west India.

In the 1950s, it ceased to be used as the Rectory, and the Church of England sold it to the publisher George Rainbird, for £1,400.

[3] In the 1980s, it was sold to Major and High Sheriff of Warwickshire (1996) John Waddington Oakes and his wife, who lived there with their family, including sons Nigel Oakes and Alexander Waddington Oakes, and added a tennis court, swimming pool and a coach house at the entrance gate.
