Compton Wynyates

Tudor mansion, once moated, 20 km/12 mi southeast of Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, England. Begun in 1480, it is built round a courtyard, with the arms of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon over the porch.

The house has a number of secret staircases and hiding-places. The Great Hall is panelled, with two minstrels' galleries, carved screens and a timber roof.

In the grounds is a church, rebuilt in 1665, with many memorials of the Compton family. Compton Wynyates is the seat of the Marquess of Northampton.
