The Butterfly Effect

This installation is celebrating the lives of loved ones who are no longer with us, each butterfly will represent a loved one. It is said that the smallest movement of a butterfly’s wings have the power to change the weather on the other side of the world and by the same token small acts of support have the power to make a big difference. The Myton Hospices believe that everyone matters for every single moment of their life. They focus on enhancing life when cure is no longer an option, supporting people living with a life-limiting illness and their families.

The history of Coughton Court

Twenty-one generations of the Throckmorton family have lived at Coughton since 1409. Over six centuries there are many stories to tell, including that of the gunpowder plot. The family were related to the key conspirators in the Gunpowder Plot, an effort to end the persecution of Catholics. The ringleader of the Gunpowder Plot was Robert Catesby, a charismatic and forceful character, and the son of Sir William Catesby and his wife Anne, daughter of Sir Thomas Throckmorton of Coughton Court.
