Dawley Heritage Trail
'The Dawley Trail is a self-guided heritage walk which aims to bring alive much of the parish's rich history and culture. On the ground is a wealth of surviving buildings, artefacts, and often humble commemorations to an era of industrial enterprise, as well as the lives of important local characters ... '
'There are churches and chapels, the places of squatters' cottages, the site of a natural spout , furnace pools, a cinderhill, and a pottery where you wouldn't have expected one, all with their own fascinating and often socially important stories to tell. There are memorials to tragedies, and also plenty of historic houses, buildings, monuments to mark some of Dawley's prominent individuals, such as Captain Webb, William Ball "The Shropshire Giant", and more recently, Edith Pargeter, the author Ellis Peters of the "Brother Cadfael" stories.'
