Bockleton Court

Bockleton Court is a large country house in the Gothic Revival style in Worcestershire. The house was built between1866 and 1869 by Treasure and Co for the Prescott family, then owners of Prescott's Bank in London. The Bockleton estate originally ran to over 5000 acres and extended into both Hereford and Shropshire. The house, stables and lodge were listed Grade 2 in 1988.

The architect was Henry Curzon. Curzon's original designs for the house are held by the Royal Institute of British Architects.

A lodge to the east was added, also by Curzon, in 1898.

Bockleton Court was sold by the family in 1950 to Birmingham City Council and became a school. It was then sold again in 2015 and is now privately owned.
