Chief Reporter

A plan will be drawn up to look after one of the county's landmark historic buildings – while also finding a practical future use for the site.The study, on the future of Rowley's House and Mansion in Shrewsbury, will be carried out by Arrol Architects and TDR Heritage – both of which have been appointed by Shropshire Council.

“A conservation management plan is essential when planning the conservation of a complex listed building such as Rowley’s.“Arrol and TDR will engage with stakeholders over the coming months to look at how the building might be adapted for a new use whilst safeguarding its historic value.” Rowley’s Mansion is a substantial extension which was built by Rowley’s son in 1618 and is believed to be the earliest surviving brick-built building in Shrewsbury.

The House was used for housing archaeological material from the site of Viroconium Cornoviorum – the Roman city at Wroxeter. The buildings were transferred from the former Shrewsbury and Atcham Brough Council to the newly formed Shropshire Council in 2009. The Museum collections were transferred to the Shrewsbury Museum and Art Gallery in the market square in 2014.
