About Whitchurch - show infohide info

Whitchurch is a town in the county of Shropshire. It has a population of 8067 inhabitants. It is Shropshire's oldest continually inhabited town. Originally founded in 70AD by the Romans, Whitchurch was known as Mediolanum, meaning 'the place in the mid plain'. Built on a low hill, the settlement provided a perfect location on the major Roman route between Deva (Chester) and Wroxeter (Viroconium). Today, unlike both Chester and Wroxeter, there is very little evidence of Roman settlement in the town, though nearby mosses have turned up some iron age and Roman artefacts which can be seen in Whitchurch heritage centre. The name Whitchurch comes from 'White Church'. The church in question was Norman, and was built from local stone, thought to be chalk. That church was supposedly the second on the site, though today it no longer exists, the current St Alkmunds church was built on the same site in 1712, and was built from sandstone. Whitchurch was granted town status in 1284, and later, a market charter in the 14th century. A vibrant market is still held on Friday's in the town. Whitchurch is home to JB Joyce clockmakers, whose timepieces can be seen around the UK (notably the Carnforth Station clock as seen in the film 'Brief Encounter') and the world, wih examples in Australia, China and India. Today, the town is a bustling town with a busy shopping street, home to a number of chain stores as well as a number of smaller, independent shops. Whitchurch acts as a service town for local villages, and contains sports facilities including a swimming pool, as well as a Civic centre, which can hold amateur dramatic productions as well as cinema screenings and exhibitions. The town is served by rail, and sees regular trains to Crewe and Shrewsbury, as well as less frequent trains to Bridgend, Carmarthen, Cardiff and Manchester. Nearby towns to Whitchurch include Crewe, Chester, Nantwich, Wrexham, Wem, Oswestry, Chirk, Ellesmere, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Stoke-on-Trent, Winsford and Tarporley.
