Following the enthusiasm for the jubilee, we have re-instated the flagpole here.
There was a flag pole here during WWII certainly, and the fixings on the parapet are substantially older than that. Indeed, it is (we think), reasonable to assume that Thomas Hill and Rowland Hill (late 1600s and 1550s/1560s respectively) would have used heraldic flags during their time. Rowland Hill was Lord Mayor of London and to this day this office uses heraldic flags; Thomas Hill was High Sheriff and as such conducted significant parts of county administration from Soulton, not least (by Royal command) the recovery effort following the Great Fire of Wem.
This picture below shows the hall displaying our county colours (the Shropshire flag).
Below is Soulton's own banner of arms.
