Compton Wynyates is a Tudor country house in Warwickshire, England, a Grade I listed building. The Tudor period house is constructed of red brick and built around a central courtyard. It is castellated and turreted in parts. Following action in the Civil War, half timbered gables were added to replace damaged parts of the building. The Compton family, who still live today in this private house, appear in records as resident on the site as early as 1204. The family continued to live in the manor house as knights and squires of the county until Sir Edmund Compton (who died c. 1493) decided, c. 1481, to build a new family home.

Traitor's Ford is a ford on the River Stour, in the English county of Warwickshire close to its border with Oxfordshire. It is about 2 miles (3.2 km) outside Brailes and half a mile from the village of Sibford Gower, and is on the route of the Macmillan Way long distance footpath. The ford can be seen in the film, Three Men and a Little Lady.Immediately to the north of the ford, the modern road of Traitor's Ford Lane meets with Ditchedge Lane, a track that is believed to be an ancient trading route. One theory for the naming of the ford is that the name was originally Trader's Ford, named because of its location on this trading route. Another theory is that a traitor was hung here following the Civil War battle of Edgehill, when several local Parliamentarian sympathisers were executed by Royalists.

Whichford House is a grade II* listed house situated in the Cotswolds, on the Oxfordshire / Warwickshire border in the sought after village of Whichford. The house is regarded as the finest rectory in the Cotswolds.Dating from the medieval times, Whichford House was the Rectory until 1954. Architecturally the house evolved through the medieval period and 17th and 18th centuries. During the English Civil War, the house was damaged by the Roundheads after the incumbent recruit preached against Cromwell. The house was repaired, enlarged and given high status during the 17th century. A date stone over the west doorway bears the date 1662. The classical frontage of the house was commenced in 1740 but not completed until 2006 with the addition of the West Wing. Of particular note are the fireplaces, the principal Georgian stairwell and the wood paneling int he principal rooms. In the medieval dining room, above the inglenook, is a Schist carving which dates from the time of Christ and originates from west India. In the 1950s, it ceased to be used as the Rectory, and the Church of England sold it to the publisher George Rainbird, for £1,400. In the 1980s, it was sold to Major and High Sheriff of Warwickshire (1996) John Waddington Oakes and his wife, who lived there with their family, including sons Nigel Oakes and Alexander Waddington Oakes, and added a tennis court, swimming pool and a coach house at the entrance gate.The property includes five acres of gardens and a 70 acre farm.
