Stokesay Castle, Shropshire

Another gem from the British Pathe website is this film of Stokesay Castle from 1936, complete with a commentary from Mr Cholmondeley-Warner.Except that, apart from the attractive conversion of part of the small house to include a teashop, Stokesay looks exactly the same today as it did 60 years ago.As the English Heritage page for Stokesay says:Stokesay Castle is quite simply the finest and most excellent preserved fortified medieval manor house in England. Set in peaceful country near the Welsh border, the castle, timber-framed small house and parish basilica form an unforgettably picturesque group.You can find Stokesay Castle on the A49 in Shropshire, just south of Craven Arms.
