Boscobel House (grid reference SJ837082), in the parish of Boscobel on the Shropshire/Staffordshire border, near Wolverhampton and Albrighton, England, was built around 1632, when landowner John Giffard of White Ladies Priory converted a timber-framed farmhouse into a hunting lodge. Boscobel House became one of the most evocative sites in the English historical imagination. It was at this property that Charles II hid in a tree to escape discovery by Parliamentary soldiers after the Battle of Worcester. See also the article on Escape of Charles II. It is a Grade II* listed building and has several other listed features. It is under the care of English Heritage.
