House & Family History: Kemerton Court is the principal manor house of the village of Kemerton, near Tewkesbury. The manor was granted by King Henry III to Sir Robert de Musgrove (or Mucegros) in 1240. Since that time, apart from the brief period 1918–49, the estate has remained in the possession of his relatives and descendants, passing through the families of Beauchamp, Lygon of Madresfield, Parsons, and Darby. The current owner is 23rd in direct descent from Sir Robert de Musgrove. A celebrated 15th century owner was John Beauchamp, 1st Baron Beauchamp of Powick, lord high treasurer of England. The house is built of local Cotswold stone, dating from the late 16th onward. In the early 18th century a nine-bay Baroque façade of considerable elegance was added by the squire, John Parsons IV (1698–1757). Thomas White of Worcester, has been suggested as the architect. Kemerton Court is set in parkland and is surrounded by a farming estate of around 1,300 acres. It's owned by environmentalist Adrian Darby, chairman of the JNCC and former chairman of the RSPB. He is married to Lady Meriel Darby, daughter of former prime minister Sir Alec Douglas-Home, 14th Earl of Home, who was a frequent visitor to the house.

Garden & Outbuildings: The house is set in a 1,300-acre estate.
