    Also found in: Wikipedia 0.02 sec.

Charlecote Park

House near Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, set in a park of 93 ha/230 acres. The present house, owned by the National Trust, was built about 1558 for the Lucy family who had lived at Charlecote since the 12th century.

The park contains the Shakespeare herd of deer and a flock of Spanish sheep. Thomas Lucy as residential magistrate reputedly dealt with Shakespeare for poaching in Charlecote Park. Shakespeare's revenge was his burlesque of the knight as Justice Shallow in The Merry Wives of Windsor.
