Boscobel House is a timber-framed hunting lodge located near Brewood in Shropshire, dating from the early seventeenth century. The house is historically significant as the refuge where King Charles II hid after his defeat at the Battle of Worcester in 1651, famously sheltering in an oak tree on the estate to escape Parliamentary forces. The structure comprises a modest two-storey timber-framed building with later brick additions, representative of gentry domestic architecture of its period. The site remains notable as a tangible connection to the dramatic events of the English Civil War and the subsequent Commonwealth period.
