Shrewsbury Abbey
| an outbuilding |
| almshouses |
| original flooring |
Founded as a Benedictine monastery in the 1000s, it lived for centuries as a major abbey and pilgrimmage site. In the 16th century, it was partially dismantled to control the wealth of the monks leaving just the nave with all this lovely stuff!

Shrewsbury-St. Mary's
St. Mary's began to be built in the 12th century as a college chapel. Now it is redundant and under the care of the Churches Conservation Trust with loads of interesting stained glass displayed.
