The Shugborough you enjoy today has been shaped by inspiring and talented people, who wanted to keep a snapshot of their idea of an Arcadian landscape.
Thomas Anson was inspired to make Shugborough his perfect paradise. His first wave of creation erected the monuments you can see to the North West of the mansion.
The great nephew of Thomas and George Anson received Shugborough in 1789 and started a series of renovations turning the estate into what we can enjoy today.
