Shropshire town, 8 miles NE of Wellington.
Thomas Brown (1663-1704) the irreverent satirist is thought to have been born here and was certainly educated at Adams Grammar School.
Charles Dickens (1812- 1870) stayed at The Bear Hotel, now called Beaumaris House and part of the Grammar School. Chetwynd House was formerly the home of Elizabeth Parker, the recluse on whom Dickens modelled Miss Havisham in Great Expectations(1861).
