Shrewsbury Abbey was a Benedictine monastery founded in 1083 by Roger de Montgomery. A large amount of the monastery was destroyed during the Dissolution of the Monasteries, but a number of buildings, including the church were left intact. Thomas Telford built his A5 road through the remaining part of the Abbey and now only part of the original abbey church is still in existence, which is still used today as a place of worship. The old refectory pulpit is still visible across the road from the church and a single wall of an abbey building, now an integral part of another building, remains.

It is now famous for its prominent role in the "Cadfael" mysteries by Ellis Peters.
