Dayes’s charming coloured drawing was engraved by William Angus for Seats of the Nobility and Gentry in Great Britain and Wales in a Collection of Select Views, From Pictures and Drawings by the Most Eminent Artists. Each drawing was accompanied by a description of the house.
Attingham Park was built in 1785 for Noel Hill, 1st Baron Berwick, a former MP for Shropshire, who had been honoured in 1784 by William Pitt the Younger (1759-1806), as he had been instrumental in the reorganisation of the East India Company. Lord Berwick already owned a house on the site of Attingham Park called Tern Hall, but with money he received along with his title he commissioned the architect George Steuart (c.1735-1806) to design a new and grander house to be built around the original one.
