Day 11 Wednesday May 23. Rest day in Shrewsbury

Shrewsbury Abbey, part of the wall of the original 11th century Benedictine Abbey (Brother Cadfael and co.)
Extensive stone repairs at the Abbey
We were lucky enough to hear a lunch time recital by the Abbey organist - fascinating to hear the mostly 19th/20th century program
Part of the city wall
Only remaining tower along the city wall
Church of St. Chad - built in the 18th century after the original collapsed. Darwin was baptised here
The original St. Chad - only the Lady Chapel remains
The crypt of the old church
