More about this scene
Legend has it that this church was founded by Adeliza, the wife of Roger de Montgomery. Montgomery had come to England with William the Conqueror, and had been given control of Shropshire. When his wife travelled across the Channel to join him, there was a terrible storm. Terrified, Adeliza prayed to God that should she safely complete her journey, she would build a church at the place where she met her husband. She met her husband under a nearby oak tree (which still survives!) and then built the first church on this site.
