Today's first stop was to The Lord Leycester in Warwick. It's provided a home to military veterans for 100s of years & still does to this day. More importantly Doctor Who episode The Shakespeare Code was filmed here! 😋

Shaw House was an interesting place to visit. Not much on the inside but there were several battles fought here in the civil war & Charles I was almost hit by a musket ball here (allegedly!).
They had an interesting display of artwork in the grounds.

Today's second stop was Highclere Castle. Downton Abbey was filmed here (I've not seen it). There's also a collection of Egyptian artifacts in the basement. You're not allowed to take photos inside.

Final stop was another hidden gem - Benjamin Franklin House. He spent 16 years living here between 1757 - 1775 & the house has barely been touched since.
