Telford Road, Bridgnorth, WV15 5NG

Few can say that they own a true masterpiece of historical architecture located within the picturesque medieval market town of Bridgnorth. Fort Pendlestone is a once in a lifetime home, with origins tracing back to 1086.

Recorded as the “King’s Mills at Brug” the site is believed to connect to early Domesday references associated with the Manor of Worfield and later formalised in a charter granted by King Henry III in 1277, bestowing the mill upon the Burgesses of Bridgnorth and firmly establishing its role at the heart of the town’s economic life.
By the mid-19th century, circa 1845, Fort Pendlestone took on its defining form as a substantial textile mill. Today, this Grade II listed landmark stands as a striking testament to architectural and industrial heritage.
