Albrighton railway station

Albrighton Moat is a Scheduled Monument in the village of Donington, Shropshire. The moat surrounds a relatively small platform of earth (900 square metres (9,700 sq ft)), which supported a, now demolished, manor house sometime in the 13th or 14th century. A geophysical survey in November 1990 revealed the remains of the main building and porch, facing towards a causeway that would have linked the buildings to the rest of the site. Excavations also undertaken at that time suggest the moat was filled in, partially by natural silting, and partly by modern deposits of brick rubble and refuse. Field drains had also been cut, to drain the moat into the stream which runs along the eastern edge of the site. William Hardwicke, the Registrar of Bridgnorth in 1801, believed this to be the site of the original house of the Lords of Donington, which was described as having been 'singularly seated in the centre of a pasture field called Moat Bank; north east of Donington church, a quarter of a mile away, and adjoining to the east a small stream, which separates it from the sub-feudal manor of Humphryston’. This accurately describes the position of Albrighton Moat, in relation to the medieval church of St Cuthbert at Donington, and being only 340 metres (1,120 ft) from the Grade II listed Humphreston Hall. The site was granted Scheduled Monument status on 15 July 1975. Historic England describe it as "a well-preserved example of this class of monument" and note that in its present state as a public amenity it acts as "a significant educational resource".

The Royal Oak is the English oak tree within which the future King Charles II of England hid to escape the Roundheads following the Battle of Worcester in 1651. The tree was in Boscobel Wood, which was part of the park of Boscobel House. Charles told Samuel Pepys in 1680 that while he was hiding in the tree, a Parliamentarian soldier passed directly below it. The story was popular after the Restoration, and is remembered every year in the English traditions of Royal Oak Day. Numerous large slipware dishes (known as 'chargers') depicting the Boscobel Oak were made by the Staffordshire potter Thomas Toft. The oak tree is shown being supported by the Lion and Unicorn, with the king's face peeping from the branches.
