Witley Court is a ruined country house estate located in Worcestershire, notable for its surviving baroque architecture and extensive formal gardens. The house was substantially developed during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, with significant alterations made by later Victorian owners who expanded both the building and its grounds. The ruins that remain today preserve evidence of the grand reception rooms and service wings characteristic of a major country estate, whilst the surrounding landscape retains features of its designed garden layout. The site was severely damaged by fire in 1937, after which it fell into decline, and it is now managed as a heritage monument displaying the fragmentary remains of this once-substantial architectural ensemble.
