Wem War Memorial
Wem War Memorial
The war memorial stands in a prominent position in the churchyard of St Peter and St Paul by the junction of High Street and Mill Street. 55 names from the First World War and 19 from the second are inscribed on plaques around the base. The White Horse Hotel is a sad sight; it is a former coaching inn and was at one time part of the Shrewsbury and Wem Brewery estate. Closed in 2007, it is now in a dilapidated condition and presents a poor image of the town.
