Shropshire's crumbling history is revealed in survey

The figures released today give an annual snapshot of the health of the historic environment.

In Shropshire there are about 100 ancient monuments, listed buildings, conservation areas and places of worship on the Buildings at Risk register.

And while some have remained on the register – and in several cases have been on it for many years – there are 13 new additions and six have been removed.

At the 18th century Bedlam blast furnaces at Ironbridge, an important survivor from the Industrial Revolution, Historic England is funding a canopy to cover and conserve the ruins.

Elsewhere in the county, the Nag's Head engine house in the village of Pontesford is being repaired thanks to a Historic England grant and partnership work with Shropshire Council.

But a new one on to the register this year is the engine house of Muxton Bridge Colliery. Established around 1830, the colliery was a relatively early deep coal mine and the pumping engine was added in the 1870s. Plant growth is undermining some of the brickwork and causing structural problems.

Rhodri Evans, Heritage at Risk principal for Historic England in the West Midlands, said: "Historic England continues to invest grant aid and to dedicate time and expertise working with owners, developers and communities to find solutions to rescue precious sites."

Among those removed is the Church of St Catherine at Tugford which has received grant aid for renovation work.

The Roman villa at Harley, near Much Wenlock, has likewise been removed from the register as has the ringwork and bailey castle southwest of Lyndale at Westbury which received a grant from Historic England. Those added to the register for the first time are The Church of St Mary the Virgin in Shawbury, the Church of St Mary in Stottesdon and The Church of St Mary in Bitterley.

Another new addition to the register are two parts of Ditherington Flax Mill. Despite securing millions of pounds' worth of funding, the Cross Building and the Flax Warehouse have been placed on the register for the first time.

Further afield is the striking Italianate style domed Oratory Church in Birmingham, where the author J.R.R. Tolkien worshipped as a child and the hillfort at Bury Bank, Stone Rural, Staffordshire. The hillfort dates to the Iron Age and was probably a high status settlement, built to display power and wealth as well as for defence. Bracken has overrun the site.

Removed from the list is Pennocrucium Roman Camp, Staffordshire which was spotted from the air in 1946. Excavations showed it was occupied from the mid-1st century until the 4th century AD.

Properties in Shropshire new to the register are:

Church of St Mary the Virgin, Shawbury: The church has origins in the 12th century. The tower roof is leaking and requires repair.

Church of St Giles, Farlow: Built in 1857. The roof is failing and ceiling panels are unstable.

Church of St Mary, Highley: Parts of the church date to the Norman conquest but roofing and masonry are now failing despite a restoration project in the later 19th century.

Church of St Mary, Stottesdon: The church as seen today dates to the 14th century. Roofing and masonry work need replacing and repair.

Church of St George, Clun: The 12th century church sustained damage in the civil war and was virtually rebuilt in 1877. Storm damage has led to an emergency situation to repair the roof.

Church of St Margaret, Acton Scott: A medieval church which contains a 19th century chapel built for the Stackhouse family of Acton Scott Hall. The hipped slate roof is in poor repair.

Church of St Mary, Cleeton St Mary, Bitterley: Built in 1876-78 the church has undergone recent repairs which have shown that the original roof coverings are failing.

Church of St Peter, Coreley: This church has a 13th century tower but is riddled with damp caused by a failing roof and guttering.

Parish Church, Wheathill: The church was built in 1622 and the nave and lower chancel were rebuilt in the 18th century. It was subsequently restored in 1904 and this was possibly the last occasion when all roofs were last relaid and accounts for their poor condition.

Ditherington Flax Mill: Cross Building, Shrewsbury: Outline planning approval was secured for the whole site in 2010, and this will form the basis of the masterplan and future redevelopment proposals. The Friends group is flourishing.

Ditherington Flax Mill: Flax Warehouse, Shrewsbury: Outline planning approval was secured for the whole site in 2010, and this will form the basis of the masterplan and future redevelopment proposals. The Friends group is flourishing.

Church of St Nicholas, Bridgnorth: Built in 1858 to replace a medieval chapel it has exposed tile battens to the north aisle roof which suggest that the roof covering is failing. A Listed Places of Worship Roof Repair grant to address these urgent repairs was awarded in June 2016.
