Talk set to reveal the archaeological discoveries at Shropshire beauty spot
History fans will be able to find out more about the lost Regency summerhouse site of Attingham Park at a talk.
Shropshire Archaeology & Historical society will be hearing a talk by Nigel Baker and Viviana Caroli in Shrewsbury on November 12.
While evaluating the course of new roads near the walled garden in 2018, archaeologists found a five-metre square brick building with stone cladding, marble fragments and painted glass in the demolition debris.
It was an unknown summerhouse built for the second Lord Berwick circa1813-14 in the Attingham late Georgian Neoclassical style.
Four years later it has been revealed as the principal building of a walled enclosure which also contained an oval pool, probably a plunge pool, and a second stone-clad building interpreted as a dedicated service range, all built at the same time and all lost to view since the early/mid-19th century.
The talk will be held from 2.30pm, at The Gateway, Chester Street, Shrewsbury, on Saturday November 12, 2022.
