Historic mansion opening its garden gates to the public for the first time in five years

Ludstone Hall has a fascinating history, dating back to medieval times. The parish of Claverley, of which it has been a part, is one of seven manors recorded in the Domesday Book of 1085 while in the possession of Roger Montgomery, Earl of Shrewsbury. The existing house was built in 1607 by John Whitmore on the original moated site. The moat itself dates back to medieval times and surrounds the house on three sides and meets the monastic fish pool at the rear.
