Shrewsbury Abbey
Founded in 1083, Shrewsbury Abbey became one of the most powerful Benedictine monasteries in England. It's the setting of the Brother Cadfael tales, a series of mysteries written by Ellis Peters that have been adapted for television. The church remains in use to this day, and visitors can see displays devoted to the abbey's history as well as the remains of the 14th-century shrine of St. Winefride.
