The History of Haughmond Abbey and Mysterious Sundorne Castle
We inform viewers about the historic former Augustinian abbey at Haughmond Hill, Shrewsbury, Shropshire, it was extended in the 13th and 14th centuries.Following the Dissolution of the Monasteries part of it was converted into a mansion, and after the Civil War (1642–1651), it became a farm.
Only ruins remain, the most substantial parts being parts of the infirmary and the abbot's lodging, the latter with a large three-sided bay window. Only the foundation stones of the church have survived.
Other remains include part of the cloister walls, three arches from the chapter house, and three chimneys from the kitchen.
From Haughmond Abbey, not far away downhill toward the outskirts of Shrewsbury some people are intrigued to see another "castle".
Sundorne Castle, a more modern country house that has been demolished.
It looks mysterious to many onlookers because a number of structures associated with the house have survived.
Other listed buildings include houses, cottages, farmhouses and farm buildings, in the nearby village of in Uffington, Shropshire.
The earliest of these are timber framed, there's also a pump in an enclosure, and a church.
