The moated manor of Baddesley Clinton, just north of the historic town of Warwick in the English county of Warwickshire, was probably established sometime in the 13th century. Large areas of the Forest of Arden were cleared and eventually converted to farmland and included the building of this large fortified manor at this time.
In 1438, John Brome, the Under Treasurer of England, bought the manor. It then passed to his son and then to his son's daughter, who married Sir Edmond Ferrers. The house remained in the ownership of the Ferrers family until 1940 when it was transferred to the National Trust.
