Days Out - 2018 - Part Two
Aug. 4th, 2018 12:41 pmWe headed further afield for this week's visit, to just past Wolverhampton. The drive took a bit over an hour and a half and coming back we had a break at Stourport-on-Severn to avoid some of the Friday evening traffic. It was an interesting visit, and the one I'd been looking forward to most, but in fact for me it wasn't as good as Coughton Court - purely personal interests, it all depends what your taste in art and architecture, and historical periods are.
Wightwick Manor was built in 1887, with a further extension which doubled the size built in 1893. It was built by Theodore Mander, who was a very wealthy Wolverhampton paint manufacturer, who was clearly out to impress.
