History & Heritage

“This strange eventful history…”

A Saxon Earl and his brother slain by King Cnut. A lost medieval castle. A rural haven where the seeds of the Elizabethan Golden Age were sown. A sanctuary for texts taken on the May Flower. An important library evacuated in the English Civil War. A witch trial thrown-out. A seat at the table of the industrial and agricultural revolutions. A recovered courtly dance. An inspiration for Shakespeare…

Soulton Hall has a complex and important history, layered like the centuries it has witnessed and repeatedly resonating with the story of England and beyond.
