On the way from Lake District to Kettering we called at Shrewsbury. Drawn to it by the stories found in the Books about Brother Cadfael, a fictional Monk in the abbey. We saw the location of the abbey, now in ruins, from the tower of the Castle where we took several photos in the gallery above. On the day there were demonstrations of Mock Battles, Falconry, and traditional food that were all in recognition of a famous Battle that took place near here in about 1403.
Continued our journey to Kettering without delay.
