“Thou art right welcome…”

“One of the most amazing houses you will find anywhere in England… an amazing ongoing process of discovery with perhaps further surprises awaiting to be found…”

— Tom Holland, The Rest Is History

We know that the history we care for matters deeply to many people. Because we are currently managing a period of rapid growth and discovery, we cannot accommodate spontaneous visits to explore the estate at this time. To ensure a smooth experience for every guest, access to our heritage is available exclusively through bookable, guided tours and our cultural programs:

  • Historic Houses Association Tours: We partner with the Historic Houses Association to offer guided visits. All tours must be booked in advance through their platform.

  • Cultural Programs and Events: Our calendar features specific events and trading activities designed to share the rich background of the property.

  • Advance Planning: Please verify that you possess a confirmed booking before traveling to the estate, as unbooked visitors cannot be accommodated.

Thank you for your patience as we expand our facilities and prepare for this new chapter.

Book A Visit

“Under an oak whose antique root peeps out Upon the brook that brawls along this wood To the which place…”

Soulton Hall is easily found on the valley below Hawkstone Hill by the humpback bridge on the B5065, east of the town Wem. The architecturally ‘correct’ first view is to approach from the A49. The 511 bus will stop at the gate and our nearest rail station is at Wem (taxis should be arranged in advance of travel).

There are 2 EV chargers at Soulton (check availability via the WallBox App). Helicopter landing can be looked after, please give us notice.

“Were you made the messenger?”

Protect and share the legacy of Soulton Hall. As the estate transitions into a public phase, social media channels alone cannot capture the depth of the ongoing history and discoveries unfolding here.

By joining the official mailing list, “THE NEW NEWS,” visitors and researchers become vital partners in the care of this landscape.

  • Exclusive Narrative Insights: Receive deep research and detailed stories regarding estate archaeology, Shakespearean ties, the memory of Saint Erkenwald, and the legacy of Old Sir Rowland—narratives kept separate from public social feeds.

  • Advance Participation: Gain priority notification for forthcoming heritage tours, theatrical performances, and scholarly events.

  • Direct Engagement: Be the first to hear about progress updates and the essential work required to keep the estate’s history accessible.

Quality is prioritized over volume, with concise updates sent typically no more than twice per month
