Welcome to Wem

Wem is a small market town located in the north of Shropshire, England. The town has a rich history dating back to the Roman times, and it was once an important center for the wool trade. Today, Wem is a charming town with a population of around 5,000 people. The town is known for its beautiful architecture, including the historic St. Peter and St. Paul's Church, which dates back to the 12th century.

One of the most notable events in Wem's history is the Great Fire of 1677, which destroyed much of the town. However, Wem was quickly rebuilt, and many of the buildings that were constructed after the fire still stand today. The town is also home to a number of historic landmarks, including the Wem Town Hall, which was built in 1905 and is now a Grade II listed building.

Wem is a popular destination for visitors who are looking to explore the beautiful countryside of Shropshire. The town is surrounded by rolling hills and picturesque villages, and there are plenty of opportunities for hiking, cycling, and other outdoor activities. Wem is also home to a number of local shops, restaurants, and pubs, where visitors can sample some of the region's delicious cuisine and enjoy a pint of locally brewed ale.
