Ireland's Mansion, High Street, Shrewsbury (image)
This, the most ambitious surviving 16th Century timber building in Shrewsbury, was built by Robert Ireland partly as property speculation. It was not one house but three, with a large central block and two smaller flanking tenements. It has less extravagant ornamentation than other houses of this era but relies on symmetry for its grand effect.
