Heythrop Park was built in the early 18th Century and is steeped in history. Charles Talbot, the 12th Earl of Shrewsbury commissioned the architect Thomas Archer to create a magnificent house incorporating all the Roman influences Charles Talbot had grown so passionate about during his time in Rome. The exterior is thus one of its main attractions, with the stunning grounds leading up to the impressive main house. The modern annexes of previous years have been now gone and the Shrewsbury Wing that forms part of the original Manor House has been refurbished completely and features a lovely quad with manicured gardens.
