Castles and Cities Destroyed by Time

Built for the first Lord Berwick in 1785, Attingham Hall and its beautiful park lands belonged to the same family for more than 160 years. Discover family history throughout the mansion, from the luxurious but flawed roof of the Art Gallery, which contributed to the second Lord Berwick's bankruptcy, to the expensive paintings of cattle that the fifth lord liked.
It is 70 years since Attingham bequeathed the Tomas National Foundation, the eighth lord of Berwick. Stroll through forests and deer parks to see what kind of wildlife they have.

The Roman name Wroxeter meets twice in the Antonine itinerary of the end of the second century. The city appears as an Urioconio in the middle of Iter II called “Route from the wall to Portum Ritupis”, in which each Roman road station is described in detail.
The most convincing argument regarding the origin and development of the name Viroconium is that it is the Romanization of the name (Welsh / Gaelic) for a city that may have been Virikonon, which means "Virico City", a personal name that was known to be used in Gaul.
