Lower Brockhampton House is located in a small valley near Bromyard, Herefordshire. It is a timber-framed manor house that dates from the early 1400s. It is still almost completely surrounded by a moat, with a gatehouse of c.1542-3 giving the visitor access to the garden and main building. The house received additions in the 1600s and it remained a residence for most of its life until it was given to the National Trust in 1946. The last owner's family had lived there for more than twenty generations.
