Haughton Hall

Haughton Hall is a red brick country house in Shifnal with a seven-bay front and stuccoed walls forming its main elevation. Two flanking wings were added during the 1820s, extending the building and altering its original proportions.

Sir Humphrey Briggs, 4th Baronet and Member of Parliament for Wenlock, had the house built in 1718 on the grounds of an earlier estate. The 1820s additions reflected changing architectural tastes of the period.

The property maintains the architectural legacy of early 18th-century English country houses while serving as a modern hotel and event venue.

The building is located on Haughton Lane and operates as a hotel and event venue where visitors can stay, attend functions, or arrange private meetings. It is advisable to contact ahead to confirm access and check what activities are currently available.

A brick and stone pillar stands near the former walled garden as a memorial to Gimcrack, a celebrated thoroughbred racehorse from an earlier era. This unexpected tribute reveals the estate's past connection to the world of horse racing.
