Situated a hop away from the Welsh border, and just south of the Cheshire border, the ancient market town of Whitchurch carries a history as rich as the countryside is green. Human habitation dates as far back as 3,000 BC, but it became prominent as Mediolanum, a crucial stop on the Roman route from Chester to Wroxeter. Evidence of this Roman past can still be seen in the artefacts housed at the Whitchurch Heritage Centre.

From bearing the Anglo-Saxon name of Westune before the Norman conquest, to gaining market status in the 14th century, every era has left its mark on Whitchurch. Many of its captivating buildings boast 18th-century brick facades, a testament to a prosperous past and a signature of the numerous listed buildings in the town. Ever-evolving, Whitchurch also hosts a thriving choice of supermarkets, and combines quaint charm with necessary convenience.
