Description
The former Hodnet Hall was a large timber framed mansion, about 250m SW of the inner bailey of the castle. It was demolished in 1870. <1>
An image of this Hall held by Shropshire Archives indicates that it was a large timber farmed building of perhaps mid-late 16th century date (Drawing of Hodnet Old Hall, (6001/2792, p72), Shropshire Archives). Whether it represented the direct successor of the castle or replaced an earlier house on the same site is not known. <2>
