Shrewsbury
800 AD
Shrewsbury's known history commences in the Early Middle Ages, having been founded c. 800 AD. It is believed that Anglo-Saxon Shrewsbury was most probably a settlement fortified through the use of earthworks comprising a ditch and rampart, which were then shored up with a wooden stockade.[16] There is evidence to show that by the beginning of the 900s, Shrewsbury was home to a mint.[16]
