Summary
| Description |
English: Boscobel House. This was the hiding place of Charles II when he was fleeing his Cromwellian pursuers in 1651 having lost disastorously at the final battle of the Civil War, at Worcester (September 3rd 1651). Of course he more famously hid a few yards south of here in the 1289763.
The lefthand range of the building seen here dates from that time, having been built around 1632, but the righthand side is considerably more recent. The family that risked their necks in hiding the fugitive king were the Giffards, and their help was not forgotten by Charles, who on his restoration established a pension for them and their successors - which is still paid to this day. The house is now in the care of English Heritage http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/server.php?show=nav.16650 |
