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.

Famous quotes containing the word bury:
“Illustrious examples engross, prejudice, and intimidate. They engross our attention, and so prevent a due inspection of ourselves; they prejudice our judgment in favour of their abilities, and so lessen the sense of our own; and they intimidate us with the splendour of their renown, and thus under diffidence bury our strength.”
—Edward Young (1683–1765)
