George and Dragon (photo added) is the Good Beer Guide Pub in town (although I had a very dodgy pint). Old School charm and worth seeking out.

Much Wenlock is a charming little market town steeped in history and natural beauty located in Shropshire. Perhaps the most fascinating thing to know about Much Wenlock, is it is the birthplace of the modern Olympic Games, having hosted the Wenlock Olympian Games here in the 19th century. There are so many other wonderful things to know about Much Wenlock and lots to see, including visiting the old Priary, catching up on local history at the Much Wenlock Museum, or visiting the beautiful historic church.

Ancient law stipulated that if you could erect overnight a structure with a chimney and have a fire blazing in that chimney before morning you could claim rights to the land. Squatters’ cottages are often therefore easily identifiable by the fact that they have a large chimney which was built first and then having established a claim to the site the homeowner had time to add the cottage onto the chimney at a later date. This particular cottage was once occupied by Nanny Morgan. She was a witch and lived here accompanied by live toads. She possessed “the evil eye” and could curse bad luck to anyone who upset her. On the other hand young girls used to come and visit her from far and near because apparently she was able to produce very effective love potions. These would ensure that those gentlemen who were a little slow in asking for a girls hand could be rapidly brought to the altar.

Legend tells us that the Guildhall at the end of the High Street was built in two days. This seems astounding until you notice that it is largely timber framed. If all the timber was already on site and there was a sufficient workforce available erecting the frame of the building could well have taken only a couple of days. This was how such buildings would have been built from mediaeval times. Look out for two pairs of manacles attached to one of the posts in the front of the building.

Milberga became the abbess of Much Wenlock and is now known as St Milberga. There are a number of stories associated with the saint.
