Benthall Hall, House museum in Barrow, England.

The stone manor house stands on a plateau above the River Severn gorge, featuring mullioned windows and Jacobean architectural elements throughout its structure.

Built around 1580 for the Benthall family, the house incorporated secret chambers for Catholic priests during a period of religious persecution in England.

The interior displays collections of 20th-century paintings, 17th and 18th-century furniture, along with Welsh pewter and porcelain pieces from different periods.

The National Trust manages visitor access to Benthall Hall, providing guided tours through the restored rooms and maintaining the surrounding garden landscapes.

George Maw, a botanist and former tenant from 1860 to 1890, established plant collections that continue to grow naturally in the gardens today.
