Shropshire Council is working to make Shropshire a great place to live, learn, work, and visit- we want to innovate to thrive. To make that ambition a reality, we need to understand what our towns and communities need in order to make them better places for all. Our Place Plans – of which there are 18 across the county – paint a picture of each local area, and help all of us to shape and improve our communities. Place Plans are therefore documents which bring together information about a defined area. The information that they contain is focussed on infrastructure needs, such as roads, transport facilities, flood defences, schools and educational facilities, medical facilities, sporting and recreational facilities, and open spaces. They also include other information which can help us to understand local needs and to make decisions.

  • Loppington, Colemere
    Days Out with a religious theme or connection North-west of Shrewsbury – Battlefield, Preston Gubbals, Ruyton XI Towns, Loppington, Colemere. Sculpture of medieval weapons of war, at the site of Battlefield Church, near Shrewsbury. Battlefield Magda and I chose St Valentine’s Day, probably the first mild and sunny day of 2019, to explore the area of Shropshire to the north-west of Shrewsbury. Our choices were guided by the excellent leaflet published by the Shropshire Churches Tourism Group. We began with a very famous church near Shrewsbury, near the site of the Battle of Shrewsbury in 1403. B u ilt The church is on the site of the medieval Battle of Shrewsbury; Magda investigates the lychgate carvings! Alas, the church is no longer used for worship but it is maintained by the Churches Conservation Trust. We were unable to go inside. However, the stonework outside features some wonderful gargoyles. The Chapel was built in 1406 to commemorate those who died in the battle – estimated to be around 5,000. The battle was fought on 21 July 1403, waged between an army led by the Lancastrian King Henry IV and a rebel army led by Henry "Harry Hotspur" Percy from Northumberland. It was the first in which English archers fought each other on English soil, and reaffirmed the effectiveness of the longbow and ended the Percy challenge to King Henry IV of England. The battle itself and many of the key people involved appear in Shakespeare's Henry IV, Part 1. Inside the church, the roof beams display the shields of Henry IV’s knights.

The earliest features identified were up to five buildings. These were cut by two timber-framed buildings, forming part of the first formal fort layout. Part of the praetentura building, along with two internal divisions were identified in the western area of the excavation. This building was separated from the praetorium by a gravelled trackway. These buildings were levelled and three irregular buildings, part of the military store depots, replaced them. A later structure, an oven and pitting were also recorded. The phase 2B timber-framed buildings and associated features were the latest phase of Roman activity. A late post-medieval ditch following the fort alignment was also identified.

The county was contested during the First Civil War of 1642-6 and also saw armed conflict on a smaller scale during the Second Civil War of 1648. This detailed study provides a comprehensive bipartisan analysis of military endeavour, in terms of organisation and of the engagements fought. Drawing on numerous primary sources, it explores: leadership and administration; recruitment and the armed forces; military finance; supply and logistics; and the nature and conduct of the fighting.

  • An Archaeological Analysis of Anglo-Saxon Shropshire A.D. 600 – 1066: with a Catalogue of Artefacts
    An Archaeological Analysis of Anglo-Saxon Shropshire A.D. 600 – 1066: With a catalogue of artefacts By Esme Nadine Hookway A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of MRes Classics, Ancient History and Archaeology College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham March 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Abstract The Anglo-Saxon period spanned over 600 years, beginning in the fifth century with migrations into the Roman province of Britannia by peoples’ from the Continent, witnessing the arrival of Scandinavian raiders and settlers from the ninth century and ending with the Norman Conquest of a unified England in 1066. This was a period of immense cultural, political, economic and religious change. The archaeological evidence for this period is however sparse in comparison with the preceding Roman period and the following medieval period. This is particularly apparent in regions of western England, and our understanding of Shropshire, a county with a notable lack of Anglo-Saxon archaeological or historical evidence, remains obscure. This research aims to enhance our understanding of the Anglo-Saxon period in Shropshire by combining multiple sources of evidence, including the growing body of artefacts recorded by the Portable Antiquity Scheme, to produce an over-view of Shropshire during the Anglo-Saxon period.
