A New Project

Wem: Within the Town Gates

The survey will initially photograph all external frontages of each building that stands within the curtilage of the sites of the four town gates.
There will be 3 phases would contribute to an up-to-date Town Heritage Survey.
(A sort of Conservation Guide to Wem, as well as providing a real-time account of buildings and their condition in 2021/22.)

Once these phases are complete - attention will be focused on the remainder of Wem.

Research is continuing into a number of areas including the history of Wem and the surrounding villages. Publications are available for sale.
