Stokesay Castle, located in the peaceful Shropshire countryside near the Welsh border, is one of the finest and best preserved fortified medieval manor house in England. The solar block represented here is one of the few post-medieval alterations to the house which was built in 1291 by Lawrence of Ludlow, a wealthy local wool-merchant wishing to set up as a country gentleman.
