This is one of the most beautiful places in Shropshire. A totally unique Church in a river setting which is peaceful and inspiring. Best visited on a sunny day and avoid times when the river is flooded.

The spire of St Mary's is one of the tallest in England and for over 500 years it has dominated the skyline of Shrewsbury's old town. In 1739, showman Robert Cadman attempted to slide from it, head first, using a rope and a grooved breastplate. His engraved obituary stands outside the west door. The church is now the only complete Medieval church in Shrewsbury. It dates from Saxon times and has beautiful additions from the 12th-century onwards. Inside, the atmosphere is peaceful with the soaring stone arches giving way to the church's great treasure - its stained glass. There are panels in glorious colour including the world-famous 14th-century 'Jesse window' filled with figures of Old Testament kings and prophets. No other church in the country has a collection to equal it. The Café at St Mary's Church, Shrewsbury, run by the Battlefield 1403 farm shop and deli, is now open Monday - Saturday 10am - 4pm.
This church is very ancient and well worth a visit, especially for its beautiful historical stained glasses.

The warm welcome from the English Heritage volunteer we received on our first day of our short break in this beautiful area set the seal on a very enjoyable and informative visit to his lovely Priory, so well preserved and just so interesting. The Guidebook was just tremendous containing many photographs which will help us remember our wonderful visit. We were also blessed to be able to buy a most acceptable hot drink with delicious chocolate as well. Thank you so much for looking after us so very well.

Interesting old church and grounds with lots of history. Plenty of information boards telling you all about it. The church was open when we visited so was able to look inside although currently work going on and parts taped off due to Covid 19
