Wroxton Abbey, the home of Wroxton College, serves as a living classroom for this experience. It embodies centuries of changing taste in architecture and landscape, hosting literary, royal, and political visitors whose stories are key to understanding England’s sociopolitical evolution.

The 56-acre estate includes lakes, cascades, obelisks, and gardens created by prominent designers and gardeners. The estate also features several architectural “follies,” such as the Doric Temple and the Dovecote.
