More about this scene

Fortunately, although a new road bridge has replaced this one, the old bridge survives as a footbridge. The church is dedicated to St Eata, a 7th-century missionary who settled here to convert the pagan Anglo-Saxons. The church was later built using stone robbed from nearby Wroxeter.

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I only knew Atcham as the place where my grandfather's family lived in 1901. My grandfather lived there with the rest of his family in the Atcham Schoolhouse because his dad was the local School Master at that time. I recently crossed the globe and visited that same house in the beautiful setting that is Atcham. In doing that I finally feel I've in some way touched a part of my grandfather's life even if he was only a little boy there at the time.
