For anyone who is interested, see http://www.virtual-shropshire.co.uk/...-list-2013.pdf for details of an upcoming Edith Pargeter weekend.
I believe it was Thomas Telford had some of the ruins of the Abbey demolished to allow construction of the A5 road. |
Shrewsbury Abbey has a stained-glass window showing scenes from Brother Cadfael, and dedicated to Edith Pargeter. The Abbey benefits from royalties on the sale of all her books.
