Situation
Plaish lies above a quiet wooded valley, with a stream running to the south east. It is about 8kn NE of Church Stretton and 2 km NE of Cardington. To its NE stands the noticeable ridge line of Yell Bank.
History
The current hall - a brick-built mansion was built after the period of the game, during Henry VIII's reign, but incorporates parts of an earlier stone building, possibly a castle or a fortified manor house.
Church
There is not trace of a church, although there are references to the 'free-Chapel within the Castelle of Plashe' in the early C16.
Castle
A moated building was recorded as being here by at least 1255. It is likely that it was a fortified manor house.
