Brief description of site

Morville Hall is an Elizabethan house which was remodelled in the 18th century, and has grounds dating from that period. It featured veteran trees, avenues, water features, and an obelisk.

Brief history of site

Morville Hall and grounds were designed in the mid-18th century by Arthur Weaver, M.P. for Bridgnorth. By the 19th century, some features described in the 18th century were no longer present. Some remodeling of the gardens has been done in the 20th century, and the property has been in the hands of the National Trust since 1965.
