There are three Scheduled Ancient Monuments on the estate including one third of the Roman City of Viroconium (now known as Wroxeter).
The estate today is around half the size it would have been in the 1800s. Today, the Attingham Estate includes tenanted residential, agricultural and commercial properties that raise valuable income to maintain the properties as well as funding conservation work across the estate.
Buildings on the estate
There are nearly 60 houses and cottages on the estate ranging from one bedroom terraced cottages to large 8 bedroom farmhouses. Some of the current tenants and their families have lived on the estate for over 100 years. From time to time houses and cottages become available to let.
Cronkhill is an architecturally important Italianate villa built for Francis Walford, a friend and agent of the 2nd Lord Berwick (1789-1832).
It was designed by John Nash, the renowned architect behind many famous landmarks such as Regent Street in London and Brighton Pavilion. Nash also designed the Picture Gallery in the Mansion at Attingham.
