Blue Drawing Room
The Blue Drawing Room is on the first floor of the gatehouse, the oldest surviving part of Coughton Court. When new in the 1530s, it would have been one of the most important rooms in the house.
Legend has it that on the 6th November 1605 Lady Digby, the young wife of Gunpowder Plot collaborator Sir Everard, two Jesuit priests, Fathers Garnet and Tesimond and Nicholas Owen, the man who built the priest hole in the tower, sat in this very room waiting to hear the outcome of the conspiracy.
