Melverley Church, located on the Shropshire border next to River Vyrnwy
Despite hailing from Surrey, Christopher has explored much of the Shropshire landscape, as well as its history, during his visits to the county. He said the church has been a place of Christian worship for around 1,000 years and its font most likely dates back to Saxon times – the end of Roman Britain to the Norman Conquest.
Work began quickly to restore the church and within five years it had been completed. In 1406 Christian worship resumed in the church. Baptisms have taken place in the church for around 1,000 years, it has been said, and communities came together at the Jacobean alter nearly 400 years ago for Communion.
