Step up and hear about Madresfield Court, built in 1086 to house the Lygon family. They. have owned it and lived in it now for 900 years and 29 generations of family.
It has a moat, 18 + bedrooms which were given bathrooms in 2014. The roof covers two acres of building for a total of some 160 rooms. Just think of the winter heating bill … awesome.
A frequent visitor in the '30s was novelist Evelyn Waugh who based "Brideshead Revisited" on the Lygon family. During WW2 had the Nazis invaded England, plans were in place to evacuate the British Royal Family to Madresfield which means mower's field.
If you'd like to see it, tours are offered for 15 pounds which I would bet is Euros today.
I must say, they built to last back in 1086.
