About

Madeley is a historic market town situated within the borough of Telford and Wrekin.

Its layout reflects its development from a former mining and industrial settlement, with older terraced housing and more modern estates.

The parish church of St. Michael's, dating to the 12th century, stands as a focal point in the townscape, representing its long-standing continuity amidst the surrounding modern development of Telford.
