    Hiking

    This was commissioned to be built by the 16th Earl of Shrewsbury, owner of Alton Castle. Its intended design was of a medieval hospital, a guildhall and presbytery.

    In fact, if you enter and walk to the top storey and look at the stained glass windows, it reads 'hospital' at the bottom of the pane. This puzzled me until I looked up the history.
