In a small strip of woodland, surrounded by knarlled old scots pines and ancient yew trees lies Shenstones Chapel. The building lies hidden away on the Enville Sheep Walks on the Enville Estate and proved to be an excellent little explore!! Not a great deal of info on the net but did find the following on a local website...
''Brief description: The Enville Hall estate was landscaped between 1745 and 1755 by the 4th Earl of Stamford, using the services of the poet and landscape designer William Shenstone of Halesowen, and Sanderson Miller, a gentleman architect from Warwickshire.
The chapel lies in Priests Wood on the Enville estate. It is dedicated to, and was probably designed by William Shenstone who died in 1763. It was built in about 1750-60''
