Exploring The Church of St Chads in Shrewsbury
Today I am telling the story of one church and two buildings. The church of St Chad had been standing in Shrewsbury for a long time. Thomas Telford surveyed it and made his recommendations, but they were ignored. There were terrible consequences.

St Marys church Shrewsbury Interior shots
You may notice that the full title St Chads with St Mary's is sometimes used. When St Mary's was made redundant in 1987, the Churches Conservation Trust took on responsibility for the care and preservation of the building. It is the vicar of St Chads who has spiritual over-sight of the church of St Mary which does host a few services a year. Hence the addition of St Mary to the name of St Chad. St Mary's also hosts many interesting exhibitions and is well worth a visit.
St Mary's is only a ten-minute walk from St Chads and has quality work from the 12th century to the present day. St Mary's most famous treasure is the wonderful collection of stained glass, with examples of different styles from the 14th to the 19th centuries, all of the highest quality. No other church in the country has a collection to equal it. Most of the glass was brought from elsewhere, much of it from Europe, and installed in St Mary's during the 18th and 19th centuries. Most spectacular is the huge 14th century east window depicting the Tree of Jesse, and filled with figures of Old Testament kings and prophets, in brilliantly vibrant colours. Warmth and richness is also provided by superb Victorian coloured tiles on the floor. And lifting your eyes upwards, you will see the wonderful 15th century carved oak ceiling of the nave, with a profusion of animals, birds and angels.
In March 2007 St Mary's famous collection of stained glass panels, was loaned to the prestigious Museum Schnütgen of Cologne for their international exhibition on 16th century German stained glass. Exact replicas were carefully installed to cover the six month period of the exhibition.
