Shropshire's country houses and their grounds, from Apley Park and Sundorne Castle to the ruins of Haughmond Abbey, fill the prints from Picturesque views in Staffordshire & Shropshire. These steel engravings were published in Birmingham by William Emans in 1830, with historical text by William West and with Frederick Calvert and Thomas Radclyffe among the principal artists, though individual plates credit other draughtsmen and engravers. Sweeney Hall and Ludford Church appear alongside lesser-known houses such as Morville Hall, Longford Hall and Stanley Hall, often set among deer, horses, livestock and figures.
