Barges on the Severn

Situated in beautiful Shropshire, on the River Severn, is the birthplace of the industrial revolution. It is difficult to imagine that this quiet wooded valley was once one of the world's great iron making centres. In 1709 Abraham Darby pioneered the use of coke to smelt iron; a cheaper method than the earlier use of charcoal, and from this began the great British engineering industry.

Repton is the cradle of Christian worship in the Midlands. Christians have worshipped here since 653 AD when Paeda, son of King Penda of Mercia, introduced Christianity to his father's kingdom at Repton.
