Benthall Hall
Benthall Hall, The Avenue, Broseley, Shropshire, TF12 5RX
Situated on a plateau above the gorge of the River Severn, this fine stone house has mullioned and transomed windows, a stunning interior with carved oak staircase and decorated plaster ceilings and oak panelling.
The current house was built in 1535 but there have been Benthalls living on this site since the medieval period. During this time the house has been part of many interesting events from the Civil War to the Industrial Revolution.
Enjoy a special exhibition celebrating the amazing life of the Victorian polymath, George Maw, who was a tenant at Benthall Hall during the second half of the 19th Century. He owned the largest encaustic tile manufacturing company in the world alongside his brother Arthur Maw.
In the garden there are fabulous crocus displays to be seen in the spring and autumn, there's also an intimate and carefully restored plantsman's garden, an old kitchen garden, re-instated Victorian glasshouse and interesting Restoration church.
