In 1688, three local noblemen, the Earl of Devonshire, the Earl of Danby and Mr John D'Arcy met at Whittington disguised as a hunting party, to begin planning their part in the overthrow of James II. A rainstorm sent them seeking shelter to the Cock and Pynot alehouse. Now known as Revolution House, it is a free public museum. There is a display of 17th century furniture, a video on the Revolution of 1688 and a programme of special events through the summer. Small groups accepted by prior arrangement. Disabled access to ground floor only.
