Local area guide
Skip hire in Whitchurch
Whitchurch is a historic market town in the far north of Shropshire, close to where the county meets Cheshire and Wales. It has a population of around 10,000, and it is often described as the oldest continuously inhabited town in Shropshire. Its roots go back to the Roman settlement of Mediolanum, a staging post on the road between Deva (Chester) and Viroconium (Wroxeter). The modern name comes from the "white church", a Norman church built of pale stone that once stood at the heart of the town.
The church that stands there now is St Alkmund's, a grand Georgian building finished in 1713 after the tower of the earlier church collapsed. It is one of the town's best-known landmarks and is where John Talbot, 1st Earl of Shrewsbury, is buried. Talbot was a celebrated English commander of the Hundred Years' War. The High Street and the streets around it are lined with a mix of timber-framed and Georgian buildings, many of them listed, which give the town centre a well-preserved, traditional feel.
Whitchurch has a long history of trade and craft. For centuries it was an important market for Cheshire cheese, drawing dairy farmers from the rich farmland around it. It is also home to J.B. Joyce & Co, one of the oldest tower clock makers in the world. The firm's clocks can be found on churches, town halls and public buildings across Britain and abroad. The composer Sir Edward German was born in the town in 1862 and is remembered locally with a blue plaque.
The countryside around Whitchurch is gentle and green, with meres, mosses and farmland typical of north Shropshire. Brown Moss nature reserve lies just south of the town, and the Llangollen Canal passes nearby. A restored branch of the canal, the Whitchurch Arm, links back towards the town, making the area popular with walkers, cyclists and narrowboat holidaymakers. The weekly market and a lively calendar of local events keep the town centre busy.
Whitchurch is well connected for a rural market town. Its railway station sits on the Welsh Marches line, with direct services to Crewe, Shrewsbury and beyond. The A41 and A49 bypass the town, giving easy road access to Chester, Wrexham, Shrewsbury and Newport. Homes range from period terraces and Georgian townhouses in the centre to post-war estates and newer developments on the edges of town, plus farmhouses and cottages across the surrounding villages.
