What travelers are saying

The stained glass windows are stunning!

A little out of the centre of town but easy walk arounf town walls or from Quarry.

It is a lovely historic building, with stunning features and a very interesting history, particularly if you like Brother Cadefael stories!

Shrewsbury Cathedral

A lovely Cathedral, smaller than most we have visited and comparatively new at around 150 years old. Beautiful stained glass windows and an interior that has been updated with brighter colours which gives the interior a bright glow. Not as overwhelming as some of our...More

As Cathedrals go Shrewsbury is quite small - more like a parish Church but still nice.

A conventional church which lacks the grandeur of many better known Cathedrals but still very pleasant with a few good windows and fine stone carvings.
