St Mary's Church, Shrewsbury, Medieval parish church in central Shrewsbury, England.
St Mary's Church features a prominent spire reaching high into the Shrewsbury skyline, with Norman arches and Gothic architectural elements throughout its structure.
The church foundations date back to 1150, when local builders incorporated both Norman and early English Gothic architectural elements into its initial construction.
The church exhibits an extensive collection of medieval and Victorian stained glass windows, including the fourteenth-century Jesse Window depicting Old Testament figures.
Visitors can access the church Monday through Saturday, with wheelchair entry available through the west porch door and guided tours by local volunteers.
In 1739, Robert Cadman lost his life attempting to slide down a rope from the church spire during a public demonstration.
