Discover Real Tennis - 700 years of history and still being played
Heritage Open Day: Visit this historic real tennis court built in 1905 to see the game that has been played for over 700 years. This is the father of lawn tennis, squash and padel. It is a dynamic game with novel ways to out-fox your opponent. Moreton Morrell real tennis court was built in 1905 for wealthy American Charles Garland as part of Moreton Hall (now part of Warwickshire College Group) whose entrance gates face those of the Court. The building is still largely in original form and continues to be regarded as one of the best playing real tennis courts in the world. No expense was spared externally or internally and “The Field†in 1913 described the building as being ahead of any other in the country in luxury of appointment.
