Offchurch Bury is a manor house located one mile to the north west of the village of Offchurch, Warwickshire, England.
Parts of the building date the 16th century and are said to be built on monastic foundations connected with Coventry Priory, but most of the current house dates from the 19th century. In 1954 approximately 75% of the house was demolished. It is in private occupation and not open to the public.

And Parson Biggs won’t bury me, though I am dead Miss Bailey.’”
