Harpton House and adjoining shop, number 2 The Square, is early or mid 19th century, incorporating an earlier structure. Constructed of coursed rubble stone under a slate roof. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1308104 The small town of Clun is astride the River Clun in the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is located some 14 miles northwest of Ludlow and some 5½ miles north of Knighton. There is evidence of settlement in the Neolithic period but the town grew around the site of an Anglo-Saxon church. The Normans built a castle and a new town was laid out, the grid plan of which survives in this tranquil valley.
