Tips from the Community
In the search for a worthy patron saint for this church, the Archangel Michael was initially chosen, whose name (derived from Hebrew) means "Who is like God?". However, it was then apparently decided that it wouldn't hurt to significantly increase the number of intercessors before God's throne for this church and its parishioners. Thus, the idea arose not to choose just a single patron saint, but to extend the patronage to the entire heavenly host (i.e., "All Angels").

Great 360-degree view of the surrounding area, including the Wrekin and the Long Mynd

The present Church of St Nicholas is of Norman origin but was lengthened in the 14th century. The Perpendicular style tower was added around 1460 by the Earl of Warwick but he didn't get round to finish the job and top it off with a spire. Being an Earl must be a tad busy I guess!

Original Komoot planned route had me turning left here towards Lilleshall. Large gate indicated otherwise. had to take a long detour north. Lovely downhill section away from the National Sports Centre though!

The last few metres are hike-a-bike, but it's well worth the climb up to this monument erected by a local lord in memory of his father in the early 19th century. The monument itself is monolithic rather than pretty, but the 360-degree panorama is stunning - on a clear day you can see The Wrekin, The Long Mynd, and over the border into Wales.
