Description
Ashfield Hall is an historic house located on Much Wenlock High Street, consisting of two distinct parts. The left side is the original 15th-century structure made of coursed stone rubble with stone dressings, while the right side, added in the late 16th century, features a timber frame and plaster. The left wing has a large plain round-headed arch and a blocked two-light stone mullioned window above it. A lower stage of a buttress remains, and the upper storey has been altered to include a late 15th-century gabled dormer with an eight-light mullioned and transomed window. The right wing features a gabled square bay that extends over two storeys and an attic, with a moulded wood five-light mullioned and transomed window. The returned side is gabled and timbered at the base, with a stack that has diagonal brick shafts and tiled roofing. In the 17th century, the house served as an inn, reportedly visited by Charles I. Ashfield Hall is part of a group that includes Nos 40 to 45, the Fox Hotel, and Nos 47 to 49.
