The village of Wrockwardine is two miles north of the Wrekin in Shropshire. Wrockwardine gets its name from the Wrekin - literally meaning 'the enclosure (worthign) by the Wrekin'. Wrockwardine is mentioned in the Domesday book, when there were 32 recorded inhabitants in Wrockwardine and Bratton

Wrockwardine village may have been the site of Pengwern, the legendary sub-Roman centre of Powys, destroyed by the Mercians. However there are quite a few alternatives available and no hard facts.

Wrockwardine village is a collection of 17th-century and later timber-framed and brick farmhouses and cottages grouped around the church and small green. There are around fifty grade 2 listed buildings in Wrockwardine.

Wrockwardine Hall, which was built in 1628, stands on the site of the original manor house, which dates back to 1066 when it was retained by King William.

St Peter's Church is very old, with the east end of the nave probably built in the early 12th Century. Since then, as is typical, there have been many alterations and repairs.
