Wroxeter Church

The early history of St Andrew's church is a little difficult to discern, but in the Domesday Book of 1086 it is recorded as being part of a collegiate establishment with four priests. From the late 13th century until 1347 the six townships comprising the parish were served by three rectors, and in that year the church was given to Haughmond Abbey and one of the rectors, William of Hodnet, was made vicar.

The church is constructed from stones that were liberated from the Roman ruins, and bear the masonry marks of their original craftsmen. Here a column has been used to block up a defunct window.

The massive font was carved from an inverted column base.

The church gates are flanked by Roman columns.
