Situated close to the Garden House within the park, the Sheiling was gifted in May 1929 by the Countess of Dartmouth "for the happiness of the guides of Staffordshire". The Sheiling was used to store camping equipment, cooking utensils and electric fence equipment for when cattle were in the park. Water was gained from a standpipe attached to the sandstone wall at the rear with a very primitive toilet facility added onto the building at a later date. A very old cattle barn was situated to the right of the building which offered a little protection in poor weather although this was derelict by the 1950s / 60s with only the low sandstone walls now remaining.
Although originally gifted to the guides, later it was sometimes used by the scouts, private individuals and Sandon young people’s club. Having fallen into disrepair it was finally removed June 2022.Simon Shelley
