More on Wellington, Shropshire
Wellington dates back at least a thousand years. Its name is said to derive from Weoleahington, which means "village by the temple". The temple in question is a sacred Druid site. Evidence suggests that this site is where present-day All Saints' Parish Church is located.Wellington was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086. In 1244 it was granted a charter to hold a market. An open-sided market hall was built in 1680 but dismantled and replaced with a town hall in the 19th century. The market is still being held today.
The new town of Telford was designed in the 1960s. Within a decade it has grown to envelop Wellington. While the establishment of Telford has created job opportunities, it has also impacted Wellington in terms of its sense of identity and history, and the creation of a separate Telford Town Centre impacted businesses in Wellington negatively.
