The original site and estate dates back to 1000 BC, for the next couple hundreds years the estate gets passed on to Saxon and Norman kings. In the late 1400's the Earl of Shrewsbury turned Alton Towers into a hunting lodge, known as Alverton Lodge. From then on the lodge was passed down to each new Earl, although know one has lived in the estate since 1924 when they sold the property to local business men in Staffordshire.
Grade II Building*: particularly significant buildings of more than local interest.
