Old Park house has a long and convoluted history, which can be traced back to as early as the 1480s. It witnessed the Abbey falling victim to Henry VIIIs enforced closures in the 1530s and became the ancient family mansion of the Hills of Attingham. Having survived the Great Good Friday Fire that ravaged Abbey Foregate in 1774, the house evolved from a private residence to an Inn from as early as the 1720s. Located on Old Abbey Foregate and beside Horsefair, one of the oldest markets of the town, Old Park House would have been the first prominent building on the approach into Shrewsbury from London. Fantastic original oak staircases, large fireplaces and timber frames, it is one of Shrewsburys most unique buildings. Not forgetting the views over-looking our breath-taking Benedictine Abbey (founded 1080) and Shrewsbury Abbey. Hotel Rating: Self Assessed 4 star
