Attingham Park, Shrewsbury

This country house was owned by the same family since it was built in 1785. Some of the earliest lords were not careful with their money and had to sell off much of the furniture and art. The 8th Lord and Lady Berwick (Thomas and Teresa), who lived there from 1920-70, had a strong interest in preserving its history. Teresa was Italian, and much of the manor reflects her heritage.

The Entrance Hall looks like it has Italian marble statues, but they are painted on the walls.En savoir plus
