Bishop Percy's House, Bridgnorth
Bishop Percy's House, originally known as Forster's Folly, was
built in 1580 for Richard Forster. The building survived a fire in
the town in April 1646. The property is perhaps best known as the
birthplace of Bishop Thomas Percy who wrote Reliques of Ancient
English Poetry in 1765 which is considered the first of the
great ballad collections.
