Eyton Upon the Weald Moors St Catherine’s Church – Interior View Looking East
Another view, this time from the west gallery. I found out later that visitors are not allowed in the gallery. Oh dear!
St Catherine's church is sited in a rural location in a little hamlet 2 miles from the centre of Wellington in Shropshire. The Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales Circa 1870 described it as such.... “Eyton-upon-the-Wild-Moors, a parish in the Wellington district, Salop; on the Shrewsbury canal, 2 ½ miles N of Wellington r. station. It has a post-office, of the name of Eyton, under Wellington, Salop. Acres, 1,038. Real property, £3,234. Pop., 451. Houses, 88. The property is divided among a few. Many of the inhabitants are employed in the manufacture of bar-iron. The living is a rectory, annexed to the vicarage of Wellington, in the diocese of Lichfield. The church is very good. Lord Herbert of Chirbury was a native. Source: The Imperial Gazetteer of England & Wales [Wilson, John M]. A. Fullarton & Co. N. d. c. [1870-72].”
St Catherine's is still an active church serving a small but thriving community with some members of the congregation coming from afar. For details of services and events, please see......
