  • Notes 
    • Throckmortons are the oldest Catholic family in England.
      The Throckmorton’s who celebrated their 600th Anniversary of residence at Coughton Court in 2009 have remained Roman Catholics since the reformation.
Various members of the family were involved in, or connected with, pre-Reformation plots and conspiracies including the Throckmorton Plot of 1583 and the Gunpowder Plot of 1605.
      Although Royalist sympathisers during the Civil War, the family was one of very few recusant families to survive the turbulent 16th and 17th centuries with their estates intact. They went on to become leaders in Catholic emancipation in the 18th and 19th Centuries.
      The sixth Baronet assumed the additional surname of Courtenay in 1792 on inheriting the Courtenay estates of Molland, Devon, through his mother. The eighth Baronet was Member of Parliament for Berkshire. The title became extinct on the death of the twelfth Baronet in 1994. However, the Throckmorton family is still resident at Coughton Court, which is now managed by the National Trust.
The Throckmorton Family Gardens at Coughton Court are still owned and managed by the family.  Clare McLaren-Throckmorton together with her daughter, acclaimed garden designer Christina Williams, has devoted the past 15 years – with the support of a dedicated team of gardeners – to developing what is now one of the finest gardens in Britain.
      Clare’s children, Christina, Guy and Charles, and her 10 grandchildren, have grown up with this magnificent estate as their family home, and it will be their future legacy to maintain the personal family influences that make it so special.
