St Giles Catholic Church, known as ‘Pugin’s Gem’ as it was designed by Augustus Pugin for the then Earl of Shrewsbury. The heraldic Lions of the Earls of Shrewsbury are present at the main entrance. The tower and spire are 200 feet high, a striking feature in the town, and much of the church is ornate as befits Pugin’s style. The interior is particularly elaborate and rich in colour.

This is a gorgeous ‘old’ pub - converted from an old bakers into a pub 7 years ago. Well worth a visit.
