Introduction
Madeley Hall sat within 180 acres of farmland, and had formal gardens to the east of the house.
- History
Madeley Hall is a house of around 1700, and was originally the centre of a large farm of about 180 acres. Towards the end of the 18th century, the house had a formal garden, in which a two-storeyed gazebo had been built off a terrace along the east front. There is no evidence of historic parkland at Madeley Hall, but a small area to the north of the Ironbridge-Madeley road is called a park in 1881. It is uncertain whether the 'park' land is associated with the hall at that time, but the road had probably served as the boundary for its earlier 19th-century grounds.
