Dr Everard's talk to OBHAG will look at the early development of Wem and Newport, and at the contrast between the two - Wem close to the Welsh border, defended by its castle, Newport near to the county border with Staffordshire, focussed on its market.

English Heritage   We have some news! From the 1st of April Historic England will be handing over the visitor attraction at Shrewsbury Flaxmill into the care of English Heritage. We're so excited to be able to share the story of this remarkable building with more people and secure its care long into the future. As of 1 April 2025, the visitor experience  will become part of the charity's 400-strong portfolio of historic attractions, welcoming thousands of potential new visitors. Historic England will remain the owner of Shrewsbury Flaxmill Maltings and will focus on managing the commercial lettings within the Grade I listed Main Mill, as well as progressing the rescue of the remaining historic buildings and the residential development of the wider site.
