More about this scene

Built in 1587, Shipton Hall was a wedding present from Richard Lutwyche to his daughter, Elizabeth, when she married Thomas Mytton. Another Elizabeth, the Queen, stayed here soon afterwards. She was visiting Ludlow at the time, and went out riding in the countryside nearby with a large party of retainers; she was caught in a storm, and sought shelter here for the night.
