Charlecote Park is a stately home in Warwickshire which has been the residence of the Lucy family since the 13th century. The current house was completed in 1558 and was visited by Queen Elizabeth I in 1572. It is now owned by the National Trust.
The two large paintings above the doorway show Captain Thomas Lucy (1655-84) and his wife Catherine Wheatley (died 1714). They were painted in 1680 by Sir Godfrey Kneller.
The table in front of the doorway is pietra dura and was bought in 1823 by George Hammond Lucy at the sale of the contents of William Beckford's Fonthill Abbey.
