Best History Museum in Church Stretton

"This historic attraction, established in 1835, has recently relocated to the Music Hall, a grand Victorian building in the centre of Shrewsbury. Over almost 200 years the museum has put together a collection of 300,000 objects, and more are added by the year. A recent acquisition is the Shrewsbury Hoard, from a stash of 9,315 Roman-era bronze coins discovered by a metal detectorist in 2009."

"This museum combines contemporary exhibitions with historical artifacts spanning 750 years!. Previously a medieval town house and early Victorian Music Hall, the building itself is of great historical interest. From top class art exhibitions to hands-on family fun, there is something to interest everyone."

"Under ten minutes by car from Telford town centre is an open-air museum dropping you into the 19th century. The Blists Hill Victorian Town is on an old industrial zone given over to coal, iron and fire clay mines, as well as blast furnaces and ceramic works making bricks and tiles. The museum is deftly divided between an industrial area with blast furnace and wrought ironworks, a Victorian townscape with homes, cobbler’s shop, a photographer, sweetshop, a bank, post office, bakery and bicycle shop, and bucolic countryside where there’s a mission church with a tin roof, toll house and squatter cottage."

"The oldest quarter of the city encircled by the Severn, is an absolute delight. Shrewsbury has an amazing 660 listed buildings, a large proportion of which are black and white, half-timbered houses raised when the wool trade was blossoming in Tudor times. Also from that period are Shrewsbury’s “Shuts”, cosy passageways with evocative names like “Gullet Passage”, Grope Lane” and “Peacock Passage”."

"Near the Ironbridge Gorge, Benthall Hall is a Tudor country house still occupied by the Benthall Family but owned by the National Trust. The hall, with fine mullioned windows, turreted chimney stacks and triangular gables, was completed around 1580, while the oak-lined interiors, plaster ceilings and fine staircase are unchanged since the 17th century. One Victoria resident, George Maw, developed the garden and descendants of his crocus collection, assembled around the world, are still in bloom every spring and autumn in the gardens."
