About Witley Court

Witley Court - View this group's most interesting photos on Flickriver

Witley Court in Worcestershire, England is a Grade 1 listed building and was once one of the great houses of the Midlands, but today it is a spectacular ruin after being devastated by fire in 1937.

It was built by Thomas Foley in 1655 on the site of a former manor house near Great Witley. Subsequent additions were designed by John Nash in the early 1800s and the Court was subsequently bought by the Dudley family in 1837.

The site was acquired in 1953 by its current owners, the Wigington Family of Stratford-upon-Avon, for £20,000 , and is in the guardianship of the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, and managed on its behalf by English Heritage since 1984.

This is a video for Procol Harum's Whiter Shade Of Pale. It was filmed in 1967 and the scenes that include the Court give you a very good glimpse into how the Court looked when in a state of dereliction:
