Albrighton – did you know?

• Interestingly, Albrighton was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Albricston(e), meaning the home or farm of Albric or Aethelbeorht.
• Notably, Albrighton received its Borough Charter in 1303 — partly because felons kept fleeing from neighbouring Staffordshire into Shropshire to escape prosecution, as there was no resident Justice of the Peace in that part of the county.
• What’s more, the Albrighton Mace — confirming the village’s borough status — was discovered at Sotheby’s auction house and purchased for £359 in 1948 through a local subscription fund raised by the Rev E E Wright.
• Finally, the village’s parish church of St Mary Magdalene was completed around 1181, built of striking red sandstone in the Norman style, and houses the family tomb of the Talbot family, including Charles Talbot, the only Duke of Shrewsbury.
• Interestingly, a 14th-century east window survives in St Mary Magdalene Church, and the church also contains an alabaster monument to Sir John Talbot (died 1555) and his wife Lady Frances Gifford.
• Notably, the neighbouring parish church of St Cuthbert in Donington is separated from Albrighton’s church by just Humphreston Brook — local legend says two sisters disagreed on church architecture and built their own churches right next to each other.
• What’s more, Albrighton was noted for button-making in the early 17th century, before clock-making flourished in the 18th century, and by 1880 brick-making had become the main industry.
• Finally, the village’s High Street retains its picturesque character with half-timbered inns, Georgian facades, and lime trees planted in the 19th century — reportedly by either Dr Orson Bidwell or a former Earl of Shrewsbury.
• Interestingly, Albrighton has its own railway station on the Shrewsbury to Wolverhampton Line, and the village lies just minutes from the M54 motorway and RAF Cosford, making it a well-connected commuter village.
• Notably, the village population has grown from just 900 in 1801 and 1,200 in 1901 to over 4,400 today — reflecting Albrighton’s growing popularity as a desirable place to live and learn to drive.
