Hello & Welcome

A website for those who love the churches and chapels of Shropshire, or would simply like to know more.

Are you visiting Shropshire? We hope this website gives you all the information you need to start exploring our churches.

Our aim is to encourage people to visit our churches and enjoy their peace, beauty and history.

Anne Pilsbury and Fiona Pearson, Chair of SCTG and committee member, visited 8 of our churches for Ride and Stride on Saturday 13th September. Thank you  to all who left refreshments, they were most welcome. 

This was part of a project to visit more of our 120 churches, and it was an absolute delight to see just what it is we are encouraging people to visit. The churches were in a loop, between Church Stretton and Much Wenlock:-

Longnor (lovely to see Annabel again)

Frodesley, where we were able to recruit a couple of new contacts,

Acton Burnell, stunning church,

Harley, very welcome hot coffee

Hughley, lovely church

Easthope, another lovely church, with elderflower and homemade biscuits!

Cardington, what an amazing tomb!

Hope Bowdler, lovely to meet Lisa, the Apedale Rector, who allowed us to  use her facilities!!

Handy hints

for your Church

 

  • Now we have so many churches, it's getting harder to find a specific church. To make it easier, a map has been added. Find it under Our Churches in the top menu. It's meant to give a general idea, so check with your Satnav or Google. The postcode for each church is in the booklet and on the website. 
  • THE NEW BOOKLET IS OUT NOW!!
  • Please get rid of your old ones and display only the 2025 version. 
  • We have a record 13 new members. The pages of the new Guide are bulging!
  •  7 more churches have joined since the new booklet came out in March. They have pages on this website. See especally, Ditton Priors and Prees.
  • National Churches Trust newsletter has several interesting articles this month, including ones on fundraising and how to run an open day. Subscribe here.(free)
