Croome Court
A Grade I listed country house built for the 6th Earl of Coventry in 1751 by Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown and Sanderson Miller. The interior was designed in 1760 by Robert Adam.
Built from limestone ashlar in the Palladian style with venetian style windows and Roman Doric pediments and a door flanked by cast stone Sphinxes.
The interior was partly designed by Brown with plasterwork by G. Vassalli and the remaining interiors were by Robert Adam with plaster elements by J. Rose. The rooms by Adam were later removed to London and New York.
