New Place is a Grade I listed manor house with a fascinating and diverse history. In 1904 – Mrs.A.S. Franklyn of Shedfield Lodge inherited a 17th century mansion in Bristol which was scheduled for demolition, this led to Mrs Franklyn commissioning the famous architect Sir Edwin Lutyens to design a house that incorporated the magnificent interior from the mansion, here in Shirrell Heath thus the foundations for New Place were laid.
The Franklyn family were connected to the Arden family through Mary Arden – Shakespeare’s mother, when the house was commissioned Mrs Franklyn requested that the house needed to preserve the name of Shakespeare’s house in Stratford, which was called New Place.
