Battle of Shrewsbury, King Henry IV and Henry ‘Hotspur’ Percy. On the 21st July 1403 fields situated north of Shrewsbury witnessed one of the bloodiest battles England had ever seen up to that point in history - The Battle of Shrewsbury. Well over 1600 men perished that day and the church is said to have been built over a burial pit containing some of the dead retrieved from the blood soaked battlefields.
