In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Clopton like this:

CLOPTON HOUSE, a seat 1 mile N of Stratford-on-Avon, Warwick. It was built in the 15th century; belonged to the Cloptons; and passed to the Wards. Sir Hugh Clopton, in 1742, entertained Garrick, Macklin, and Delany here, under Shakspeare's mulberry-tree.
