About this place
Acton Round Hall is a Grade I listed country house in the small rural parish of Acton Round, Shropshire.
Built in 1713–14 as a dower house for the Acton family of Aldenham, it remains privately owned and occupied by the Kennedy family today.
Access is available through Historic Houses membership, making it one of the quieter and less widely visited historic houses in the county.
Its setting within a compact Shropshire parish gives it an unusually secluded character for a house of its standing.
