Dudmaston Hall

Dudmaston Hall extends across landscaped gardens, parkland, managed woodlands, and lakeside areas within the Severn Valley of Shropshire, with traditional architecture from the 17th century.

The Wolryche family acquired the estate in 1403 through marriage, with Sir Thomas Wolryche receiving a baronetcy from King Charles I and supporting the Royalist cause during the Civil War.

The hall displays one of Britain's notable modern art collections, featuring works by Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, and Spanish paintings from the mid-20th century.

The National Trust manages this Grade II listed park and garden, offering guided tours, seasonal events, exhibitions, and facilities including accessible toilets for visitors.

Charles Babbage, pioneer of computing, contributed to the hall's development by implementing an advanced central heating system during his stays at the property.
