Tong Castle was demolished in 1954 by the Army after it had fallen into disrepair. Before the building of the A41 bypass in 1963, the distance from Tong Castle to the church was 1,640 feet (500 m) alongside the body of water known as Church Pool as the traditional road ran around the church and through the village.
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.
