Boscobel House


 

Boscobel House, on the Shropshire/Staffordshire border, England, was built around 1632, when landowner John Gifford of Whiteladies converted a timber-framed farmhouse into a hunting lodge, Boscobel house became one of the most evocative sites in the English historical imagination. It was at this property that Charles II famously hid in a tree to escape discovery by Puritan soldiers.
