Shropshire boasts a rich tapestry of history, and Soulton Hall is just one thread in this intricate weave.
The medieval mound has long sparked curiosity about Soulton’s past. Today, we embark on a journey to Stokesay Castle, a magnificent example of a fortified manor house just a short drive away.
Stokesay Castle stands as a prominent example of a 13th-century fortified manor house. Its imposing gatehouse, defensive walls, and grand halls offer a glimpse into the lives of the powerful families who once resided here: the Lakyns, the Verneys, and the Cravens.
The architectural style of Stokesay Castle points intriguingly at what migh have stood at Soulton’s medieval mound site on the current precincts.
