The Church contains one of the country’s finest collections of medieval tombs and effigies, dating between 1410 – 1632, that trace the history of Tong Castle and its Church. Documented in detail in William Dugdale’s ‘Visitation of Shropshire’ in 1663, people still come from far and wide to visit and especially to photograph the effigies.
Tong was an ancient castle, rather than the manor house that existed on the neighbouring properties. Associated with Roger de Montgomery in Norman times, the castle passed by descent to the de Belmais family, the la Zouche family and from them, through the de Harcourts, to the Pembridge, or Pembrugge, family.
