Brief description
jULY 2020 "BOSCOBEL HOUSE DEVELOPMENT
Boscobel House and it's Royal Oak tree became famous as hiding places of King Charles II after defeat at the Battle of Worcester in 1651.
This winter we're excited to be developing Boscobel House so we can better tell the stories from its interesting history.
Please note that due to the development work at Boscobel House, the property will be closed until Spring 2021.
We are making a significant investment in Boscobel House and its grounds to tell the stories from its past. The development project will take inspiration from when it was used by a sheltering King Charles II during the English Civil War to its role in the 19th century as a thriving farmyard.
Central to the project will be a hide and seek theme, playing on the legend of when the King hid in the Royal oak tree and from priests who took cover in the, still accessible, priest holes."
