Shaw House stands as one of the best-preserved Elizabethan manors in the country and has been almost completely unchanged since it was first built by the Dolman family in the 16th century. Appreciate the charming façade of this building and learn about its important role in the English Civil War and World War II. The red brick building is undoubtedly impressive. Remarkably, it has changed little since it was built over 400 years ago and serves as a prime example of Elizabethan architecture. Wander the complex and imagine illustrious visitors such as Elizabeth I, as well as James I and Anne of Denmark, staying here. Shaw House played a crucial role in the 17th-century English Civil War. The house became a Royalist stronghold and, on October 27 1644, it held off an attack of 7,000 soldiers. Ultimately it succumbed to extensive looting, but miraculously the house was left undamaged. Walk around the perimeter of the house and imagine the great battle. Inside Shaw House there is little to see, and the rooms are mainly used for functions and events. There is, however, an original fireplace in the King Charles Room. Examine the collection of relics in the small but worthwhile museum to learn more about the history of the house, the Dolman family and the Civil War here. Shaw House also played a part in World War II when it acted as a War Office and troop accommodations. Following the bombing of the Newbury school, it became the new schoolhouse, a role it fulfilled until 1985\. Visit today to see the building being used once again for educational purposes. Find Shaw House located just north of Newbury. Parking is available on site. It's also possible to reach the house from the city center via a pleasant 25-minute walk. It is open to the public on school holidays and during the weekends between February and September. ## Plan a trip to see Shaw House Price found within the past 48 hours.
