Newtown Church - King Charles the Martyr
King Charles the Martyr - Newtown
The school has very close ties with the church and welcomes Rev Adam Clayton to lead whole school worship every week. The church is a keystone for life at school and the children visit regularly to share in whole school celebrations and worship.
The parish church of King Charles the Martyr is in the small hamlet of Newtown, to the west of Wem. It was originally dedicated in 1665 (five years after the Restoration of the Monarchy) and is one of only six English Churches dedicated to Charles Stuart. The present building dates from 1868, and is a welcoming, relaxed church seeking to minister to all ages. The church is open each Wednesday afternoon for anyone to call in for a coffee, a quiet prayer or a chat with one of the pastoral team.
