Benthall Hall Houses

A sixteenth century house with a nineteenth century garden planted by George Maw, a bulb collector and breeder. There is a terraced garden, a rock garden and a rose garden designed by Graham Stuart Thomas. Situated on a plateau above the gorge of the River Severn, this fine stone house has mullioned and transomed windows and a stunning interior with carved oak staircase, decorated plaster ceilings and oak panelling. There is an intimate and carefully restored plantsman's garden, old kitchen garden and interesting Restoration church.

The Garden dates back to 1860, when George and Arthur Maw, owners of the Jackfield Tile Works took on the tenancy, and is a lovely peaceful place, ideal for leisurely walks amid primroses, wood anemones and orchids.
