Croft Castle

Croft Castle is a country house in Croft, Herefordshire, long held by the Croft family since 1085. The present quadrangular stone manor dates from the 1660s and was remodelled in the 1760s in a Rococo‑Gothic manner; it sits within extensive parkland and formal walled gardens and is now owned by the National Trust. The building retains round corner towers, a central courtyard and associated estate buildings including a Georgian stable block and a nearby medieval parish church.

As it stood in 1765

The shape it held in its prime.

A quadrangular ashlar and rubble‑stone manor enclosing a central courtyard, punctuated at each corner by round stone towers and topped by crenellated parapets; façades combine 18th‑century Georgian sash windows with some retained stone mullions and a projecting square bay on the north elevation. Low pitched slate roofs sit behind the battlements. At ground level a broad entrance front with Gothic detailing faces the parkland; the house is set amid avenues of mature beech and oak and walled gardens.
