Welcome to Tong

Tong Shropshire is a small village located in the county of Shropshire, England. It is situated approximately 5 miles southeast of the town of Shifnal and 7 miles northwest of the city of Wolverhampton. The village has a population of around 1,000 people and is known for its picturesque countryside, historic buildings, and friendly community.

One of the most notable landmarks in Tong Shropshire is Tong Castle, a Grade I listed building that dates back to the 12th century. The castle was originally built as a motte-and-bailey fortress and was later converted into a stately home in the 18th century. Today, the castle is privately owned and is not open to the public, but visitors can still admire its impressive architecture and beautiful gardens from the outside.

Another popular attraction in Tong Shropshire is the village church, St. Bartholomew's. The church is also a Grade I listed building and is considered one of the finest examples of Norman architecture in the country. It features a stunning 12th-century doorway, a 13th-century tower, and a beautiful stained-glass window designed by the famous artist Edward Burne-Jones. The church is still in use today and holds regular services and events throughout the year.
