Shipton Hall was built around 1587 by Richard Lutwyche to replace a much older black & white timbered house which was destroyed by fire earlier in the 16th century. The house has been described as \"an exquisite specimen of Elizabethan architecture set in a quaint old fashioned garden, the whole forming a picture which, as regards both form and colour, satisfies the artistic sense of even the most fastidious\". Inside the house there is an interesting combination of elegant Georgian roccoco decor with some beautiful Tudor panelling and timberwork. We can provide tea/coffee and biscuits or a buffet for up to 50, a sit down lunch/dinner for up to 30 or a more formal lunch/dinner in the main dining room for up to 12. We would be delighted to discuss other requirements, suggest menus or to assist with further arrangements locally.
