Shaw House, Grade I listed country house in Shaw cum Donnington, England
Shaw House exhibits Tudor architecture with symmetrical wings, mullioned windows, and detailed chimneys constructed from red bricks and local chalk stone.
Thomas Dolman, a successful cloth merchant, completed the construction of Shaw House in 1581 during the decline of the local textile industry.
The building serves as a location for exhibitions, educational programs, and community gatherings that highlight the heritage of West Berkshire region.
The restored mansion functions as the local registry office and remains accessible to visitors throughout the year for guided tours and private events.
The structure endured military occupation during World War II before transforming into a school and later receiving a £6 million restoration.
