Description:Ingestre Hall was built by Sir Walter Chetwynd in 1613. By the eighteenth century it had been acquired by the Talbots, who remodelled parts of the hall in the early 1800s. The Talbots became the Earls of Shrewsbury in 1856.

After a fire in 1882 John Birch was employed to restore the building, which is now used by Sandwell Council.

The church on the right is St. Mary's, built in 1676 and reputedly the work of Sir Christopher Wren.

The print was commissioned by Dr. Robert Plot for his book 'Natural History of Staffordshire', published in 1686.
