The Catherine of Aragon Suite. Shrewbury


This unusual and remarkable accommodation is so called on account that Catherine of Aragon, 1st wife of Henry VIII, is reputed to have stayed here in the early 1500‘s.

Indeed, Catherine is known to have had strong connections to the area and the former owners of the house (the Rocke family). Moreover, further evidence of a connection was uncovered during work on the property in the 1840‘s when motifs of Catherine and Henry VIII’s Coat of Arms were found behind panelling.

If you believe there is a hotel or inn of historic importance we’ve missed from our Shropshire section, please let us know. We feature all types of accommodation from independent boutique hotels, old coaching inns, rural pubs offering rooms, country house hotels and more. These should offer a high standard of hospitality to the visitor and be of architectural or heritage merit - those known to have entertained famous figures from centuries-gone-by are of the highest importance, but all pre-Victorian period property is of interest to us.
