Littlecote House Great Hall

Who remembers this place when it housed this collection of armour? There used to be a lot of places that housed back and breasts, Lobster pots and so forth on the walls. Not so much now though. There is a book published by Royal Armouries on the Littlecote collection if you are interested. Explore the collection at the Royal Armouries site

Yes,

I can remember spending a Sunday afternoon there, back in the day.

Wonderful collection and a tour round the house including the chapel and guard room plus obligatory ghost. Nice gardens too.

Something to do with Wills Tobacco IIRC.
