More about this scene
This has been the home of the Bagot family since 1367, although the building we see here dates from between the 16th and the 19th century. There is a story that Richard II so enjoyed his hunting in the Bagot Park that he presented the family with some black and white goats. Their descendants, known as Bagot goats, remained in the park for many centuries, and some of them can now be seen at Shugborough Park Farm. Much of the land in the valley nearby was flooded in 1953 to create Blithfield Reservoir.
