Bishop's Castle Shropshire and the Old House on Crutches
Bishop's Castle Shropshire and the Old House on Crutches.
Bishop's Castle is a small market town in the southwest of Shropshire, England, and was formerly its smallest borough.
Bishops Castle was one of the so-called Rotten Boroughs.
A Rotten Borough was a borough where, prior to the Reform Act 1832, there were very few voters and one person or family could exert undue influence over the election of an MP. According to the 2011 Census it had a population of 1,893.
Bishop's Castle is close to the Wales-England border, and about 20 miles south-west of Shrewsbury.
The original castle is now no more than a few stones, but then it was very old, having been first built in 1127.
The town stands on the edge of Clun Forest.
It is 500 feet above sea level and surrounded by hills, the highest of which rise to 1,500 feet.
Walk around town, and you will see Tudor Houses, the Old Hall square, the Old Market Hall Square, and the Old House on Crutches.
The Old Market Hall, coat of arms is still in the square. The original building was erected by Lord Clive of India circa 1770-1775 but demolished in 1951.
The Powis Coat of Arms which was on the original building has been saved and is the centrepiece of this little square. The Old House on Crutches gets its name from the overhanging upper storey which is supported by posts.
The Town Hall is one of the smallest in England, and exhibits 2 silver maces hallmarked 1697.
The Three Tuns Inn dates back to 1642, and is the oldest licensed brewery site in Britain.
We hope you enjoyed these facts and the pictures of this lovely little Shropshire town.
