Charter Day returns to Wellington Having missed years through weather and plague, Wellington Charter Day celebrations are back on Saturday. Relive the Kings messenger arriving on horseback from 1244 granting the good people of Wellington a Charter to hold it's market, and specifically ensuring a huge range of pick n mix supply to the town for over 800 years. Watch as the Official Ale Taster checks the quality of beer and the scone contest hots up at The Pheasant. Well done to everyone putting this on#telford #wellington #shropshire again. Wellington H2A
What’s the history behind this?
I know Shropshire is a bit backwards but it isn’t the 14th century.
