One of the most enchanting properties owned
by the National Trust, Baddesley Clinton has seen little change since 1633 when Henry
Ferrers 'the Antiquary' died.He was Squire at Baddesley for almost seventy years and
remodelled the house over a long period of time, introducing much of the paneling and
chimney pieces. Henry was proud of his ancestry and began the tradition at Baddesley of
armorial glass, which has continued until the present day. Henry let the house in the
1590's when it became a refuge for Jesuit priests, and hiding places called "priest's
holes", created for their concealment, survive from this era.
