Situated in the triangle between two minor roads in the north-west section of the square, these greenhouses have clearly seen better times ! Picture taken from the minor road at SO 87117 73628.

Dist:0.9km<br/>This moated Elizabethan House was built in the 1580s by Humphrey Pakington. Many of the rooms still have their original Elizabethan wall-paintings and the Hall claims the finest series of priest-holes anywhere in the country. In 1696 the Hall passed to the Throckmortons of Coughton Court in Warwickshire, who owned it until 1923 when it was bought for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Birmingham, which restored it and now opens it to the public.

Dist:1.0km<br/>One of two rooms on the top floor of Harvington Hall fitted out as chapels before the construction of the Georgian chapel from a stable building in the grounds. The trapdoor to the left of the altar gave access to hidden storage for vestments and other liturgical items.

Dist:1.0km<br/>When this picture was taken the then landlord was a veteran of D-Day. He ferried troops to Gold beach from the ships lying off the beaches. Shortly afterwards he retired & the pub became a haunt for the horsey-yuppie set who knew nothing about beer but plenty about horse-shit (sorry, manure) - so our group moved on.

Bathams are a family firm and a rare survivor amongst small breweries, most of which are fairly recent creations. Bathams have been brewing since the 1880's. http://www.bathams.co.uk/pubs_plough.php

Dist:1.0km<br/>A sight that will delight lovers of good beer is that of a Bathams pub sign. This is on The Plough at Shenstone. Most of Batham's pubs are in the Black Country, where the brewery is based, but this is one of the two they have in Worcestershire. [[1106744]]

Dist:1.0km<br/>Shenstone has two pubs. As well as the highly visible Hare & Hounds on the busy A450, there is a second pub tucked away in the network of lanes around the village. This is The Plough. It's not a food pub but it is one of the rare Bathams pubs outside the Black Country. Bathams are a long established but small independent brewery in the Black Country, and their beers are highly thought of. The pub has a beer garden and darts and crib teams, as well as a TV to watch sports on. http://www.bathams.co.uk/pubs_plough.php
