The event saw 21 private gardens open to the public, together with the Abbey Nursery and the chapel in the Old Cemetery gardens.

Richard Bifield of the trust said: "We broke our own 2017 record with 655 visitors to the town and a total income, to date, of £5,035."

The trust is a charity which provides grants towards essential repairs and restoration of Shropshire's historic churches. Money raised is being split equally between the trust and Holy Trinity Church in Much Wenlock.
