More about this scene
The church of St Mary dominates the surrounding area. The town originally developed because of the local weavers, and also as a market town. Owing to its disrepair, the earlier 13th-century church was completely rebuilt in 1868 to the plan of the earlier church of 1239. In justifying the demolition of the old church in 1866-67, a report commented that the repairs had been 'patched up at different times, without skill or architectural taste: ancient carved stones were thrown into the masonry in several places as common stone'. The church was rebuilt by Edward Haycock of Shrewsbury.
