About Bridgnorth
Bridgnorth is a town in Shropshire, along the Severn Valley. It is split into Low Town and High Town, named on account of their elevations relative to the River Severn, which separates the upper town on the right bank from the lower on the left. Bridgnorth is named after a bridge over the River Severn, built further north than an earlier bridge at Quatford. It is the seat of the Bridgnorth district. The population of the town of Bridgnorth was 11,891 at the 2001 Census and a more recent estimate puts it at 12,212.
Low Town is home to Bridgnorth railway station on the Severn Valley Railway, which runs southwards to Kidderminster. Low Town is connected to the High Town by the steepest inland cliff railway in Britain, the Castle Hill Railway.
High Town is dominated by the two Anglican churches, St Mary's church and St Leonard's, the former having been designed by Thomas Telford. Other notable buildings in the town are the seventeenth century Bridgnorth Town Hall and a surviving town gate. Daniel's Mill, a watermill is situated a short distance along the River Severn from Bridgnorth. The upper town is built on the acclivities and summit of a rock which rises abruptly from the river to the height of 180 feet, and gives the town a very picturesque appearance. The railway passes under by a long tunnel. On the summit is the tower of the old castle, leaning about 17° from the perpendicular.
There are also two parish churches. That of St Leonard, formerly collegiate, was practically rebuilt in 1862. This parish was held by Richard Baxter, the famous divine, in 1640. St Mary's church is in classic style of the late 18th century. The picturesque half-timbered style of domestic building is frequently seen in the streets. In this style are the town hall (1652), and a house dated 1580, in which was born in 1729 Thomas Percy, bishop of Dromore, the editor of the Reliques of Ancient English Poetry. Near the town is a curious ancient hermitage cave, in the sandstone. At Quatford, 1 mile south-east, the site of a castle dating from 1085 may be traced. This dominated the ancient Forest of Morf. Here Robert de Belesme originally founded the college which was afterwards moved to Bridgnorth.
