The Linden Field and Wenlock Olympian Games site

Highlight • Historical Site

The plaque commemorates the site of the first Wenlock Games in 1850. William Penny Brookes was born in Much Wenlock and was a doctor here from the mid 1800s. He had the very novel idea, for the time that fresh air and exercise would be good for his patients. To this end, in 1850, he began the “Wenlock Games”.
Windmill Hill formed one side of a natural amphitheatre where the majority of the spectators sat to watch the Games. The cost of a seat was a princely one shilling and sixpence.

Much Wenlock Guildhall

Highlight • Historical Site

A Grade II-listed building, the Guildhall is a stunning example of 16th-century architecture. Eye-catching with its half-timbered construction, this gloriously wonky building is open to the public much of the time from April to October each year.

The interior of the building retains historic fittings and it was still used for administrative purposes up until quite recently. Inside, you'll learn a lot about the building and feel as though you've taken a rather large step back in time.
