Churchtown is more church than town. St John the Baptist church lies on the very edge of the Offa's Dyke and the Wild Edric's Way long-distance paths and is about as rural as you can get in Shropshire.

Somewhat secretive in location, seeking out this pretty church on your rambles very much feels as though you've uncovered a long-forgotten settlement.
