The site is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and the house is a Grade I listed building.

Baddesley Ensor
Baddesley Ensor is a village and civil parish in the district of North Warwickshire in Warwickshire, England, about three miles west of Atherstone.

The worst disaster at the mine occurred on 2 May 1882. There was a fire followed by an explosion and 23 men lost their lives in attempting to rescue nine night shift workers trapped by the fire. A memorial to all the men who worked in the mines, in the form of a pit head winding wheel was erected on the common on the site of the old Maypole pit. Since the closure of the mine the village is now mainly residential. Landmarks Baddesley Ensor is kn ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
