A rare example of Norman architecture at the geographical and spiritual heart of the busy town of Shoreham by Sea.

Rivertown church has stood on the high street in Shotton for over 125 years and has always served its community.

Designed by Edward Pugin, son of Augustus Pugin, and was completed in 1856: amongst its glories is the stained glass.

Roger de Montgomery, 1st Earl of Shrewsbury, owned most of Shropshire, and it was he who founded this Benedictine abbey in 1083, he is said to have been buried here when he died in 1094.

This rather extraordinary parish church, set on a spacious green hill above the River Severn, stands in stark contrast to Shrewsbury's medieval streets and mainly Tudor townscape.

St Mary’s is as good an introduction to the development of Gothic architecture through the ages as you are likely to find anywhere.

The Edwardian façade hides a much older building.

A Norman church built on an earlier Saxon site in a beautiful rural setting.

Wonderful Grade I listed building with a 13th century tower, a wonderful Easter Sepulcher and dovecote.

A church building full of atmosphere that clearly demonstrates its complex development and many associations through its 800 years existence.

Imagine a time when this coastal parish and nearby Pagham Harbour (now a wetland nature reserve) was busy with maritime trade and it is easy to see why this should have been the largest church in the area.

800 years old, small and beautiful.
