Christ Church, Shelton and Oxon
Christ Church, Shelton and Oxon

The parish of Christ Church, Shelton and Oxon, lies within the Diocese of Lichfield, in the county of Shropshire, England. The parish church was built in 1854 by Edward Haycock Snr in Early English style with many lancet features. It is located on Welshpool Road in what is now suburban Shrewsbury, and is a Grade II listed building. The exterior has rubble walls with ashlar dressings. There is a bellcote and a gabled porch. The interior has a scissor-braced roof, an elaborate ashlar reredos (begun in 1886 and not completed until 1904), an ashlar pulpit with a pelican motif, an octagonal ashlar font, and stained glass windows (from 1884, 1948, and 1967). A new stained glass window was placed above the chancel arch to celebrate the new millennium in 2001 The churchyard contains the war graves of two airmen and a Herefordshire Regiment soldier of World War II.The parish has a population of about 8500 whilst the church has seating for 150. The church was built to cater for those cut off by flooding of the River Severn, on an area of land called the "Windmill Field." The parish was formed from that of St Chad's Church, Shrewsbury, and includes the former townships of Crowmeole, Woodcote and Horton, Bicton Heath, and Copthorne. Parish boundaries were adjusted in 1957. The boundaries were redrawn in the early 21st century to reflect population growth. In 2004 the church celebrated 150 years by planting a new Oxon Oak. The church is linked to the Oxon Church of England Primary School, which opened next to the church in 1860, but moved to nearby Racecourse Lane in 1959.

Shropshire County Show

The Shropshire County Show, formerly and to now often called the West Mid Show (short for Shropshire and West Midlands Show), is an annual agricultural show held on the outskirts of Shrewsbury (at Coton Hill), England, established in 1875. It has its own showground - the Shropshire Agricultural Showground, which lies on the north bank of the River Severn in a rural setting (though it is less than a mile from Shrewsbury town centre). The showground is accessed via Berwick Road, the B5067. The show is held usually in May and has attracted as many as 40,000 people, from across the region. On 7 November 2009 the Shropshire and West Midlands Agricultural Society, which ran the show, ran into financial difficulties, all staff were made redundant with immediate effect. In early 2010 a Company Voluntary Agreement was negotiated. By the end of 2014 the debts had been reduced by two thirds and the trustees were therefore able to start investing in the infrastructure of the showground. With the support of newly appointed sponsors Greenhous, a local car dealership and servicing company, there is a renewed confidence that the showground will continue. The society is now run by trustees with a recently appointed full-time Showground Director.Aside from the highly successful show in 2012, there are events at the Showground on most weekends, including a new separate Horse Show, The mid-Shropshire Vintage Club Show, November Bonfire, and The Shrewsbury Folk Festival. There are also regular, well-attended car boot sales that are held on Sunday mornings.The showground is also used for camping. It is the nearest camp site to the middle of Shrewsbury. There were cancellations from 1915 to 1918 (during World War I), 1940 to 1945 (during World War II) and 2020 (during the COVID-19 pandemic).
