Miss Smith said the next job would be to bring in a conservator and paint specialist to examine the work and suggest the best way forward.
She said: “There is a prospective tenant for the building who is completely delighted that the painting is there.
“I’m hoping they will proceed to a lease and it will become a restaurant.
“The general idea will be to put a glassed screen in front of the painting so it will still be on view but protected.”
Miss Smith said she was currently trying to find out more about the house and what it was used for.
She said: “We believe the house dates from the reign of Elizabeth I but the ancient history of Shifnal is scant.”
