Shropshire town, 5 miles S of Bishop's Castle.
Clun is dominated by the romantic ruins of its Norman castle and by its Norman church with massive fortress-like tower. One of the Lone Pine books, The secret of grey walls (1947) by Malcolm Saville (1901-1982) is set in Clun. E. M. Forster (1879-1970) called the town Oniton in Howard's End (1910) and Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832) is thought to have been describing Clun Castle when he wrote his Tales of the Crusaders (1825) and referred to the Garde Doleureuse.
