Introduction
To the south-west of Eyton on Severn Hall, there was a terrace with a brick garden wall and octagonal banqueting houses on each corner. The house and much of the wall were destroyed by fire, but the banqueting houses survived. One is incorporated into Eyton on Severn farmhouse, and the other has been restored and is now used as a holiday cottage. There is also an 18th or 19th-century ice house.
