Chance to rent Shropshire home in Georgian residence linked to notorious highwayman
Fancy living in the former servants’ quarters of a prominent 18th century country residence?
The Old Laundry at the imposing Hardwick Hall, near Ellesmere, in the North Shropshire Lakeland, has links to a famous family and notorious 15th century Shropshire highwayman, Wild Humphrey Kynaston.
And it is now available to let for £3,250 per calendar month through estate agent Halls.
Hardwick Hall is a grand, early Georgian house with Grade II status, built on a fresh site in 1720 by John Kynaston, who bought the estate in 1693. A descendant of the Kynaston family still lives in the Hall.
Wild Humphrey was born at the original Hall on the estate in around 1468.
He was the second son of Sir Roger Kynaston, High Sheriff of Shropshire and Constable Keeper of Myddle Castle and Lady Elizabeth Grey, granddaughter of Humphrey Plantagenet, Duke of Gloucester.
