One of the prettiest
country market towns in this part of the
world, Eccleshall lies in the valley of the
River Sow and was mentioned in the 11th
century Domesday survey. Its restored castle
has been transformed into a house and the area
still clings to its historic heritage,
boasting many more fine old buildings. During
the 16th century it was the seat
for the Bishops of Lichfield. For hundreds of
years it was noted for glass making. The tombs
of five bishops can be found in the Holy
Trinity church which dates to the early part
of the 12th century.
