Coughton Court

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.06 sec.

Coughton Court

Large mansion 3 km/2 mi north of Alcester, Warwickshire, England. Coughton has belonged to the Throckmorton family since 1409. The present 16th-century house was set on fire in the Great Rebellion of 1644, and was repaired and redesigned after the Restoration. When James II fled the country in 1688, Coughton was pillaged by a Protestant mob, and its east wing destroyed. The remainder of the house, with Jacobite relics and 60 ha/148 acres was transferred to the National Trust in 1946.

A priest hole is to be seen to this day at the Throckmorton family's Coughton Court, which was a hiding place for Father Garnet, accused of involvement in the Gunpowder Plot of 1605 - treason reflected with revulsion in Macbeth, written when King James was benefiting from a surge of untypical popularity upon which Shakespeare was not unwilling to capitalize.
