XVI. Observations in a Tour through South Wales, Shropshire, &c. By Owen Salusbury Brereton, Esq.
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 July 2012
Extract
Meeting with some few matters of Antiquity, in a journey last summer from Stockton in Shropshire through South Wales, I think it my duty to offer them, such as they are, to the Society.
Bridgenorth, the ancient Brugge, was built in the tenth century, by Ethelfleda, widow of Ethelred, earl of Mercia. The castle has been very strong, not only by its walls and baslions, but also by its situation on a rock, very steep on three sides, over the river Severn.
