Description

The structure comprises a gazebo, terrace retaining walls, and steps, located approximately 30 metres south and 30 metres west of The Manor House. It dates to the mid to late 16th century, with some 20th-century rebuilding. The layout is U-shaped, measuring roughly 25 by 35 metres, incorporating walls to the east, west, and south, a rectangular projection to the west, and a gazebo projecting centrally to the south. The retaining walls are constructed of squared and coursed sandstone; a red brick parapet (in English bond) rises to the gazebo and has been rebuilt to the east and west. A gateway to the west features a ramped parapet, stone jambs, and a wrought iron gate, leading to a dog-leg staircase with a solid brick parapet and moulded stone coping. A rectangular terrace projection to the west includes two large stone buttresses with five chamfered set backs. A 19th-century door with stone jambs and a depressed-arched lintel is situated to the south, above which is a 19th-century red brick and old tile outbuilding. The gazebo is constructed of sandstone ashlar, red brick (in English bond) with ashlar dressings, and has an old tile ogee roof with a lead finial. It has an octagonal plan and stands two storeys high. It features three first-floor chamfered two-light mullioned windows in the south, south-west, and south-east faces, fitted with later inserted glazing bar sashes; a chamfered square window is also present on the ground floor. An internal panelled room features a cornice, top panels quarted, a fireplace, and boarded doors to the north and west. The structure is considered the earliest surviving components of the former Shifnal Manor.
