NOTES: The Roundhouse, devised by Robert Stephenson and designed by R. B. Dockray, was built in 1847 to turn steam engines around for the London and Birmingham Railway. As steam engines became too large for the building it then became a warehouse for Gilbey's gin from c. 1860 until 1960 when it was converted into a performing arts venue.

NOTES: The house dates partly from the 14th century.

NOTES: This barn, the sole surviving building of a 13th century grange, was built of Cotswold rubble-stone walling, with a Cotswold slate roof. Forming part of the Coleshill Estate, it was bequeathed to the National Trust in 1956 by Ernest Cook, the grandson and joint heir to the fortune of Thomas Cook, the famous travel agent, and founder of the Ernest Cook Trust, which is dedicated to the preservation of English country houses and their estates.

NOTES: The Westminster Theatre, formerly the St James's Picture Theatre, was established on this site in 1931. The building, originally the eighteenth century Charlotte Chapel, was converted into an arts centre in 1966 to designs by John & Sylvia Reid. A two-storey office extension by the same architects was added above the theatre in 1973. The complex was destroyed by fire in 2002.

NOTES: The chapel is illuminated by daylight entering through the strips of stained glass by Margaret Traherne on either side of the structural mullions.
