The Abbey was founded as a Benedictine Monastery by Roger de Montgomery in 1083 on the site of an existing Saxon church. After the dissolution of the monasteries in the reign of King Henry VIII the part of the Abbey building which survived continued as a Parish Church – as it is to this day. The choir of Shrewsbury Abbey rehearse on Friday evenings from 7-8:30pm for Holy Communion and Choral Evensong on Sundays. The modern parish hall dates from the 1990s and is next to the church on site. It has kitchen facilities and hosts weekly coffee and chat for the community and a monthly weekday service and tea for people living with dementia and their carers.
