Rodington

St George's Church from Roden Bridge

The former canalside village of Rodington is an ancient rural community standing on the banks of the River Roden, the waterway from which the settlement probably takes its name. Despite its tranquil appearance, Rodington has a surprisingly lively past and, when Thomas Telford drove the Shrewsbury Canal through the area in the late 1700s, the village Bull Ring was the site of a barbaric annual festival of blood and gore.
