Woodchester Mansion – a masterpiece in stone

Woodchester Mansion boasts the finest quality stone carving of the 19th Century, both inside and out, from the spectacular gargoyles to the elaborate apex stones, ceiling bosses of plants, animals and the Mansion’s famous Green Men, to chimneypieces carved with scenes from the Garden of Eden. Craftsmen of the highest calibre created a breathtaking stone landscape, a built version of a medieval Book of Hours prayer book. We even have a bathroom carved entirely in stone.
