Introduction
The Earl of Arundel had a park at 'Wisileye' in Shrawardine, which eventually encompassed Shrawardine Castle. The medieval park was probaly inclosed in the 18th century. Field names indicate another area of parkland two miles west of Shrawardine, south of Hilley Farm, which may be the 'Wisileye' of the medieval park.
