Parts of the house are currently closed but through these objects, explore the fascinating history of the Jacobite rebellion and the 'Old Pretender', discover what an ivory pax was used for in Catholic services and stand in front of the linen chemise reportedly worn by Mary Queen of Scots at her execution in 1587.
Many of the objects at Coughton helped the Throckmorton family to preserve and practice their Catholic faith. Today, this collection represents their story and helps us to understand the experiences of those persecuted for their religion. We continue to care for each object so that we can share these stories with everyone.
