Having become part of the Hodnet Estate during the reign of Henry III, it was subsequently held by the de Ludlows and the Vernons before being sold to the Pigot family around the end of the 17th century. The current Peplow Hall was built in 1725 by Hugh Pigot, replacing an old manor house on the site. The estate was subsequently sold to the Clegg family, but unfortunate financial difficulties led them to sell again to a wealthy potteries industrialist called Francis Stanier, and it was Francis Stanier who greatly enlarged the Hall in 1877, along with building the adjacent Epiphany Chapel (not owned). In the 1930s the Hall was substantially reduced in size to its current form. DESCRIPTION Peplow Hall is approached through grand wrought iron gates (listed in themselves), sweeping down the formal drive flanked by a tree-lined avenue to the front of the house. Peplow Hall is an exquisitely beautiful country house, dating from 1725 and set in magnificent gardens and grounds. The main house exudes elegance with its beautiful light panelled reception rooms and bedrooms together with the practical comforts of modern day living, with its large well presented kitchen and adjacent family sitting room. There are beautifully carved early Georgian fireplaces in all the main reception rooms, which are particularly fine and delicate. The Thomas Pritchard staircase forms a focal part of the hall which sweeps up to the first floor. The principal bedrooms are similarly well proportioned and all panelled, with four being en suite, together with two further bathrooms, all overlooking the lovely gardens and grounds and the lake in the mid-distance. Outside is a heated swimming pool and an Astroturf hard tennis court. 10 11 12 13 14 15 THE PEPLOW ESTATE To Cellar Gun Room Store Office 3.68 x 3.21 4.75 x 3.95 (12' 1" x 10' 6") (15' 7" x 13' 0") Dining Room Master Bedroom 7.44 x 5.54 7.42 x 5.85 (24' 5" x 18' 2") Dressing Room 7.18 x 5.40 (24' 4" x 19' 2") (23' 7" x 17' 9") Store Dressing Room/ 4.78 x 2.15 Bedroom 8 Nursery (15' 8" x 7' 1") Drawing Room 4.42 x 4.11 7.22 x 5.30 (14' 6" x 13' 6") 4.64 x 3.10 To Cellar (23' 8" x 17' 5") (15' 3" x 10' 2") Conservatory 6.14 x 3.14 (20' 2" x 10' 4") Bedroom 7 Light Well Store 3.97 x 3.75 4.80 x 2.74 (13' 1" x 12' 4") (15' 9" x 9' 0") Box Room Oil Tank Breakfast Kitchen 7.21 x 6.09 ) Hall ntry 0" Pantry (23' 8" x 20' 0") 6.55 x 4.46 Bedroom 3 9' 4.22 x 3.11 Pa A/C 76 6.64 x 4.47 Sitting Room x (21' 6" x 14' 7") " (13' 10" x 10' 2") 5.80 x 3.81 2.

The gardens extend to about ten acres with wonderful Azaleas,Rhododendrons, Roses, herbaceous borders and its own fully enclosed walled garden, running down to the seven acre lake. Features include the Wisteria arbour, the Hydrangea walk, the formal Rose borders, the heated greenhouse with vines, and of particular note the curved private walled garden with its pleated fruit trees and Asparagus beds. This is understood to be one of the very few curved walled gardens in the country. The gardens have been created with wonderful vistas and offering distinct differing themes throughout the seasons. Beyond the formal gardens is an arboretum of fine specimen trees includingW ellingtonia, Yew, Oak and Ash amongst others. ESTATE COTTAGES Approached via a separate drive is a small cluster of six estate cottages, which are all let on ASTs, and a commercial workshop. In addition there is a lodge situated opposite the main gates, and farmhouse together with two further cottages, all let on ASTs. 18 19 HIGHWAY FARM FARMLAND The centre of the farming operation is Highway Farm. Soil Type: The soils are typical of this highly fertile part of north This includes Highway Farmhouse, a range of modern and traditional Shropshire, being easy working light to medium sandy loam soils, buildings, together with two cottages and 242 acres.

  • Memories of Old Wellington Volume 2
    of .OLD WELLINGTON VolulTIe 2 MEMORIES OF OLD WELLINGTON Volume Two INTRODUCTION When this project began it was thought that people with long memories of Wellington would be willing to talk about how the town was when they were young. We hoped that two or three people would take part buUt soon became clear that this was an open-ended task and a vast amount of tape was accumulating: the book would n ever start. The authors decided to take out a part, turn it into volume one and see if it would sell. Printing costs were more than expected and the society worried about how to pay the bills, especially if no - one bought the book. Local firms and individuals were approached for sponsorship and we would like to record our thanks to the following: Maxell Ltd., Lloyds Bank plc., Telford Travel, John Cotton, Printer, Bernard Bagnall, \Vrekin Service Station, Councillor E.A.E. Griffiths. We are also grateful to Hobson's and Austins for selling the books. In the event 250 copies were printed and sold in ten days. With two reprints, seven hundred have been sold to date. Delighted and encouraged by the success of the first volume Mesdames Audrey Smith and Kath Pearce set to work on the second volume. The series gives a fascinating insight into Wellington at the turn of the century. It is not an academic study but rather a collection of anecdotes remembered over half a century and written as they were told. If the years have played a trick or two with memories, no matter.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION Fig 1 Physical features of Shropshire The Physical Features of Shropshire Shropshire, which is the largest inland county, lies on the border of Wales. The present county is smaller than that of Domesday Shropshire which included parts of other counties. The county of Salop consists of two portions divided by the river Severn of which the north half is mainly flat and the south is almost entirely made up of hill (see Fig 1.). The Severn was the great highway of communication with the coast in one direction and with towns like Shrewsbury and afterwards by means of canals with Liverpool on the other. For a representation of the Severn traffic in the mid 18th century (see appendix 1). The Severn barges carried large quantities of coal, grain, pig and bar iron manufactures and earthern wares as well as wool, hops, cider and provisions. It can be seen from this list that the Severn was useful to the county through which it passed. In the return trip up the Severn it is likely some of the barges carried fertilizers. 1Shropshire in Neolithic time was practically covered with woods fed by rivers flowing through extensive marshes. In the parish of Condover, Bomere Pool is the largest survivor of a series which can easily be traced all through the neighbourhood. It is highly probable that hut dwellings existed on the borders of some of the Ellesmere meres. The county was occupied by a considerable population is shown by the fact that no less than three canoes made of tree trunks have been discovered at different times in the peat.
