All Saints church at Claverley is a church-crawler's delight, among the finest of Shropshire's churches. Externally it is a handsome structure in red sandstone whose most prominent features appear to be 15th century or later, but the oldest parts of the building date back to the 12th century and are only revealed when one steps inside. The south tower with its pinnacled parapet is especially attractive in the warm hues of its stonework. This is a grand edifice built to impress, a role in which it succeeds.
Inside the earlier origins of the church become clear as one is faced with the Norman north nave arcade directly opposite the entrance. What is so special here however is not just its antiquity but the astonishing scheme of wall paintings that have survived here, believed to date from c1200. The main colours are red, ochre and black and the dominant element is the central frieze of knights in combat mounted on horseback, usually facing each other in pairs. It is an extremely rare survival and makes the church well worth visiting for this alone, but it does have other charms.
The interior here feels to some degree like a sequence of separate spaces, each with its own identity, owing to the more complex layout with the tower base interrupting the aisle on the south side. The south chapel is especially interesting for its monuments, particularly the impressive Broke tomb from the Tudor period with its three recumbent effigies. There is some interesting glass, only a few fragments remain from the medieval period but there is rich Victorian glass in the east window and two delightful Arts & Crafts windows at the west end.
Claverley church is the one to visit in this area, one of the most rewarding in the county. I have visited twice and on both occasions found it open and welcoming (I had to return after a problem with my camera left me with very poor low-res photos from my first trip!).

**Wytheville Historic District** - National Register of Historic Places Ref # 94001179, date listed 1994-09-30
Roughly bounded by Monroe, Eleventh, Jefferson and Twelfth Sts. and W. Railroad Ave.
Wytheville, VA (Wythe County)
The Wytheville Historic District is located in the center of Wytheville, an incorporated town of slightly over 8,000 population located in Wythe County, Virginia. The approximately 170-acre district is located between 2,260' and 2,320' in elevation and is characterized by gently undulating topography. A small spring-fed stream flows southeast through the center of the district to Reed Creek, a tributary of the New River. The district contains 292 buildings, mostly commercial and residential buildings with an admixture of churches, schools, government buildings, and transportation-related buildings. Of these buildings, 245 are classified as contributing and forty-seven as noncontributing to the historic character of the district. The oldest buildings in the district appear to date to about 1830, although it is possible that some date to the first quarter of the nineteenth century. The most recent contributing buildings date to the early 1940s, and there are buildings in the district constructed as recently as 1994.
115-165 E. Main St. Edith Bolling Galt Wilson Birthplace. Ca. 1845. 139-2. C.
Two-story brick building with a stretcher-bond front elevation, metal-sheathed gable and shed roofs, and an unusual and complicated form. The building consists of three two-story units-- two front-gabled end units flanking a shed-roofed center unit--that share a single parapeted front with a false third story. The front has three shop fronts at street level under a simple cornice, and a second story with 619-sash windows.
Edith Bolling was born in a second-story apartment in 1872 and lived in Wytheville until 1887. Edith's second marriage, in 1915, was to President Woodrow Wilson, and after Wilson's stroke in 1919, she played an unprecedentedly active role in the operations of the executive branch. Edith Bolling Galt Wilson died in 1961. (1)
