Following recent discussions in the House of Commons, we were glad to see the Whitchurch Herald documenting these developments for our local community.
We would like to thank Josh Price and the team at the Herald for their report on the formal recognition of the heritage inquiry findings regarding Soulton Hall. You can read their full article here:
[Link: Shropshire Tudor site gains new recognition in Parliament – Whitchurch Herald]
The article covers the written questions raised by our MP, Helen Morgan, and the subsequent response from the Government.
It notes that Historic England is now reviewing the official “List entry” for the site.
This update follows an inquiry into the hall’s role in the 1550s as a place of safety for significant items, including stones from Old St Paul’s.
The Herald also highlights how this local history is being linked to a broader initiative to connect heritage sites across Shropshire and Essex. For us, having these details recorded in the local press is an important part of keeping the community informed about the ongoing research into the estate’s past.
We appreciate the Herald’s role in documenting these updates as they move from parliamentary papers into the local archive.
