About

Witley Court, in Great Witley, Worcestershire, England, is a ruined Italianate mansion. Built for the Foleys in the seventeenth century on the site of a former manor house, it was enormously expanded in the early nineteenth century by the architect John Nash for Thomas Foley, 3rd Baron Foley.

Built for the Foley family in the 17th century, massively expanded by John Nash in the early 1800s, then rebuilt by Samuel Daukes for the Earls of Dudley. A devastating fire in 1937 gutted the mansion. English Heritage took over in 1972. The restored Perseus and Andromeda fountain is one of Europe's largest.
