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.

Our Latest Booklet is out NOW!!

Click the cover to Download our Latest Brochure

You may feel that you are isolated, trying to keep your church going when it's out  of the way, small, ancient, with dwindling congregation. 

You are not alone! 

Click HERE to read the National Churches Trust's latest newsletter for some optimistic facts and figures.

There's also an update on the government's Listed Places of Worship Renewal Fund which replaces the VAT claim-back scheme. 

One glaring difference is that the scheme will only apply to England, not the whole of the UK as before. Protesters and campaigining groups are lobbying for the scheme to be nationwide.
