There was a park at Shavington as early as 1577. The current house was built in 1685 for the sixth Viscount Kilmorey and the landscape park was extensive by 1752. There were further changes to the park in the 19th century, when both William Emes and Humphrey Repton produced plans for the grounds, but it is unclear whether either of these were carried out. Considerable additions were also made to the house in 1822 and 1903. The park was expanded to around 1500 acres by 1851, but it had fallen into a dilapidated 'wilderness' by the 1890s.
