Marooned
Entrance gates to Clopton House estate now marooned among housing in Stratford upon Avon. Development has crept into the grounds of the house, which is itself now turned into flats. Clopton Road, which passes through the gates shown here, is now lined with housing estates and commercial developments but used to be the carriage drive to the house.

Clopton House Tower
This octagonal three storey building, complete with battlements, sits on the hill overlooking Stratford-upon-Avon. The Clopton family were benefactors of Stratford-upon-Avon from around the time of Shakespeare's father. The tower was designed as a belvedere for Clopton House and has been described as either "the smallest castle or grandest cottage in England"! The building was carefully converted into a private house in the 1990's, and a new section has been added in identical style complete with matching stone and battlements.
