Attingham Park
Attingham Park Review
Built in 1785 by George Steuart (architect of the church of St. Chad in Shrewsbury) for the first Lord Berwick, this elegant stone mansion has a three-story portico, with a pediment carried on four tall columns. The building overlooks a sweep of parkland, including a deer park landscaped by Humphrey Repton (1752-1818). Inside the house are painted ceilings and delicate plasterwork, a fine picture gallery designed by John Nash (1752-1835), and 19th-century Neapolitan furniture. Attingham Park is 4 miles southeast of Shrewsbury.
