Background
History
Gatley Park and the nearby manor of Leinthall Starkes once belonged to the Earl of March, reverting to the Crown on the accession of Edward IV. They were granted in the reign of Elizabeth I to merchant William Horne from whom they passed to the Croft family. The Gatley estate was bought in 1632 from Sir William Croft by Sir Sampson Eure, who built the present house. On his death in 1659 with no surviving children the property was left to his widow, who died in 1673. It was acquired in 1679 by Philip Dunne and has descended in the Dunne family ever since. The current owner is Philip Dunne, a former MP for Ludlow.
