Trusted Kitchen Worktop Installers in Much Wenlock

Much Wenlock Worktop Information

Much Wenlock is a small market town in Shropshire, on the A458 between Shrewsbury and Bridgnorth, about 12 miles south-east of Shrewsbury and 6 miles north of Bridgnorth. The TF13 postcode covers the town and the surrounding rural area of the Wenlock Edge escarpment to the south and the Corvedale valley below. The town grew around Wenlock Priory, a Cluniac monastery founded in the 11th century on the site of an earlier Anglo-Saxon abbey. The priory ruins, managed by English Heritage, are one of the finest in the West Midlands. Much Wenlock is notable as the birthplace of the modern Olympic Games in a specific sense: Dr William Penny Brookes founded the Wenlock Olympian Games here in 1850, an annual festival of athletic events that directly influenced Pierre de Coubertin when he visited the town in 1890, leading to the first modern Olympic Games in Athens in 1896. The Wenlock Olympians have run continuously ever since and the town was recognised in the 2012 Olympics with a mascot named Wenlock. The housing stock spans medieval and Tudor buildings in the town centre, Georgian and Victorian properties on the main streets, and the rural farmhouses of the Corvedale and Wenlock Edge.
