Montford Parish Church

	The church of St Chad, Montford

Montford is a small commuter village just to the west of Shrewsbury, notable only for the lovely little hump-back bridge over the Severn. We usually pass through fairly rapidly, in a hurry to reach Shrewsbury, but today I had time to spare and turned right off the A5 instead of left, to reach the parish church.

The church stands out in the country surrounded by fields and the only house in sight appeared to be a farmhouse. You couldn't even hear the traffic on the main road, that's how peaceful it was. It took a bit of searching to find the thing for which I was looking but eventually I discovered it round behind the church tower - the tomb of the parents of Charles Darwin.
