So named because it was, in the 18th century, whitewashed / limewashed but now the Old Red Sandstone is revealed once again. An Elizabethan mansion built for a Shrewsbury lawyer called Richard Prynce and dates from around 1570. Now surrounded by the expansion of Shrewsbury and I believe converted into upmarket apartments.
