Chastleton House is a Jacobean country mansion, near Moreton in Marsh, owned by the National Trust. Inside the house is a labyrinth of many great rooms, of which the highlights are the Great Hall, with its ornately carved wooden screen, and the first floor's Great Chamber, with its ornate panelling and plaster ceiling. Don't miss the Library, as it holds a Juxon Bible said to have been used at the execution of Charles I. Outside, the croquet lawn, situated to the north of the house, was originally established by Walter Whitmore-Jones in the 1860s. His version of the rules of croquet published in 1865 became definitive, and Chastleton is credited as the birthplace of croquet as a competitive sport.
