  Lilleshall - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lilleshall Monument is a famous local landmark which stands on top of Lilleshall Hill and was erected in honour of the Duke of Sutherland.
An old myth that cirulates Shropshire says that the hill was created, along with The Wrekin by a Giant who was carrying a spade full of earth with which he intended to bury the town of Shrewsbury.
The Dukes of Sutherland became one of the richest families in the UK partly as a result of this industrial development and in the late nineteenth century built a new residence, Lilleshall Hall which lies at the heart of the estate a mile from the village.

 Charles Jeggo - Gamekeeper at Lilleshall Hall
The original hall, situated in the village of Lilleshall, was completed in 1750 for Sir William Leveson-Gower and his wife Lady Jane Granville, but was considered too modest for their son and heir, Lord Gower, George Granville Leveson-Gower, after his marriage to Countess Elizabeth of Sutherland in 1785.
It was upon Elizabeth's instructions that her husband (then the Marquis of Stafford, later to become the first Duke of Sutherland in 1833, the year of his death) commanded a new Shropshire seat to be built.
Lilleshall Hall continued to be occupied by the family at holiday times.
