Wenlock Priory Much Wenlock Shropshire West Midlands England UK

---

Much Wenlock Priory is a ruined 12th century church, located in Much Wenlock, Shropshire. The church was a part of the Cluniac monastery, which was refounded in 1079 and 1082, on the site of an earlier 7th century foundation, by Roger de Montgomery. It is thought to be the final resting place of Saint Milburga, whose bones were reputedly discovered during restoration work in 1101. Today, Wenlock Priory is used mostly for recreational purposes. The grounds have a collection of topiary.
