It has an aspect becoming the capital of an important county, and an air of antiquity befitting its past history. Speaking of its position Leland says: --"Built on a hill, fair Salop greets the eye, While Severn forms a crescent gliding bye; Two bridges cross the navigable stream, And British alders gave the town a name." Speed adds: "Wholesome is the aire, delectable and goode, yeelding the Springe and the Autumne, seede time and harveste, in temperate condition, and affordeth healthe to the inhabitants in all seasons of the yeere." Churchyard, who was born here, and had favourable opportunities of observing its features, wrote: --"Nowe Shrewsbrie shall be honoured (as it ought). The seate deserves a right great honour heere; That walled towne is sure so finely wrought, It glads itselfe, and beautifies the sheere. "Her beauty stands on bounty many waies, That never dyes, but gaines immortal! praise; Her honour gTowes on wished well won fame, That people sounds of Shrewsbrie's noble name." Shakespeare, whether ho visited the town, as some believe, or.not, immortalised its battle-field. Shenstone lauded its cakes, its brawn, and hospitality. The Rev. W. A.

Download or read book Stourport on Severn written by Colum Giles and published by Historic England. This book was released on 2015-04-01 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today many English towns, adjusting to the needs of the 21st century, are turning to the historic environment as a means of reinforcing their identity and distinctiveness, precious attributes in a town's local and regional profile. For Stourport-on-Severn, this special identity is written large in the central part of the town, for there can be few places with such a strong association with a single determining feature - for Stourport, its canal infrastructure - and with a discrete period of development - in this case, the period 1770 to 1850. The regeneration of Stourport depends on many things but the protection and presentation of its historic environment must lie at the centre of efforts to bring new life to the town. Understanding how Stourport assumed its present form is crucial to public enjoyment of the place and to the planning of change and this book aims to contribute to both aspects by celebrating the town's unique qualities and character.
