Kinlet Hall

It is a Grade I listed building and its design was inspired by Villa Pisani, Montagnana.

[1] The manor of Kinlet was held by the Brampton and Cornwall families until it passed via his maternal ancestors to Humphrey Blount (of the Sodington Hall family), who was High Sheriff of Shropshire in 1461.

[2] It later passed to Rowland Lakyn (or Lacon), High Sheriff in 1571, through the female line and subsequently by the marriage of a Lacon daughter and heiress who married Sir William Childe.

[2] The old manor house was replaced in 1727–1729 by William Lacon Childe, who commissioned architect Francis Smith of Warwick to create the present Palladian style mansion.

During World War II, the house was occupied by the United States Army and afterwards acquired by Moffats Independent School.
