Longner Hall

It is constructed of red sandstone ashlar in two storeys to an irregular L-shaped floor plan with a plain tile roof [1] and stands in a 170-acre (70 hectare) landscaped park.

The grade II listed chest tomb of an Edward Burton, refused burial at the then parish church of St Chad's, Shrewsbury on his death in 1558, sits in the grounds.

[2] The hall was built in the Tudor gothic style in 1803 on the site of an earlier house by architect John Nash for Robert Burton, who was High Sheriff of Shropshire for 1804–05.

[3] He commissioned the Shrewsbury architect Edward Haycock to alter and extend the house and outbuildings in 1838.

The house is still (2016) privately owned by the Burton family, but guided tours are available on weekday afternoons, at 2 pm and 3.30 pm, from 30 May to 1 July, plus Easter Monday, Early May BH and August BH.
