Stokesay Castle, Manor house and castle in Craven Arms, England.
The fortified manor house combines military defensive features with residential spaces, including a great hall, solar block, and north tower built in stone.
Laurence de Ludlow, a successful wool merchant, constructed this fortified residence in 1285 after receiving permission from King Edward I.
The timber-framed gatehouse entrance displays intricate carvings from the 17th century, reflecting the craftsmanship of English medieval architecture.
English Heritage manages guided tours through the manor house daily from April to October between 10:00 and 17:00, with parking available on site.
The stone stairs leading to the solar chamber contain treads made from single blocks of wood that have remained intact since medieval times.
