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:
“Slavery and servility have produced no sweet-scented flower annually, to charm the senses of men, for they have no real life: they are merely a decaying and a death, offensive to all healthy nostrils. We do not complain that they live, but that they do not get buried. Let the living bury them; even they are good for manure.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
