Location : Warwickshire Stratford-on-Avon Clifford Chambers and Milcote

Summary : Possible site of 16th century manor house. Ludovic Grevell in 1567 "obtained Royal license to build and embattle a new house at Milcote and call it Mountgrevell". The building work was never completed but the ruinous remains were still standing in 1730. It is not quite clear whether it was this or the old manor house to the north (SP 15 SE 22), that was burned by Parliamentary troops in 1644.
