The White House, Aston Munslow

The White House combines architectural elements from three periods, featuring a medieval hall house with cruck trusses, box-framed Tudor section, and Georgian additions.

The east wing dates from the 14th century, with stone walls replacing original half-timbering, while the central section emerged in the late 16th century.

The building served as a County Life Museum under Miss J.C. Purser, displaying agricultural and domestic implements that represented rural English heritage.

The property now functions as holiday accommodation managed by the Landmark Trust, offering visitors a chance to stay in this historical building.

A 14th-century dovecote with 500 nest holes stands in the grounds, representing one of the few remaining medieval pigeon houses in Shropshire.
