Much Wenlock and St Milburga's Priory

Guild Hall
  1. It was my first visit to the ruined medieval Priory with remains of the13th-century church and ornately carved Norman chapter house.  It was a very hot day and the sun very bright so challenging for photography.  Wedlock Priory is part of English Heritage but Wenlock Abbey which was the infirmary is privately owned. 
  2. And is it haunted? According to the Staffordshire Paranormal Investigation Team who reported that somewhere so beautiful by day has got to be haunted at night stated:
    At 6:45 pm on a winter’s night members of the Investighost team were at the priory doing some filming… One of the team filmed a person standing on the third floor of the abbey. The third floor which has no floor?! Monks can be heard to chant, and if you are lucky enough to stay after dark, you’re in for a real treat near the north tower.”
    The town had great character with plenty to explore. I am assured the Saturday market is worth a visit and on the same day the queues for the butchers shop stretch well down the street. The bookshop was a great discovery and provided seating so one could sit and browse, and there were facilities to make a cup of coffee.
