Chetwynd Park estate

In 1318 Sir John de Chetwynd was granted the right to hold a market and three-day fair on All Souls Day.

[3] The estate was then purchased by Thomas Borrow, member of a Derbyshire iron-founding family, who subsequently changed his name to Borough.

Thomas, who moved to Chetwynd in 1803, was succeeded by his son John Charles Burton Borough, High Sheriff of Shropshire in 1844.

The society set about the task of restoring the Park to its former glory and at the same time, creating what is acknowledged to be one of the most beautiful show grounds in the country.

In addition, the society has developed the educational potential of the deer park by building a classroom facility known as The Lodge in 2013 and as a result, many local schools and community groups as well as Harper Adams University visit the deer park for educational purposes.
