    When archaeologists found the remains of a pig and other animals buried beside the Greek Orthodox church in Much Wenlock, they were pleased with what they'd uncovered.

    But it now appears the site could have been much more significant.

  10. Ice hockey: Tigers look for big crowd against Bees

    BBC Sport

    Telford Tigers are hoping to draw over 1,000 fans for their home match against Bracknell Bees on Saturday night.

    They could clinch the league title tomorrow, if Milton Keynes Lightning fail to win their match, and are guaranteed the trophy if they win both matches against the Bees this weekend.

    The last time the Tigers got over 1,000 fans was the end-of-season playoffs last year.

  11. Your questions: Is Weston Park in Shropshire or Staffordshire?

    Sharon Hartwell used 'Your Questions' to ask: "Why is Weston Park always advertised as being in Shropshire when it is actually in Staffordshire?" 

    Weston Park

    It's quite the puzzle, Weston Park's own website , according to its address, is in Shropshire with a Telford postcode.  

    Its main phone number is also a Telford area code.

    Boundary map

    Looking on this Shropshire Council boundary map , it would seem Weston Park is half inside the boundary and half outside. 

    Everything to the left of the blue line is within Shropshire's boundary.

    So I guess in answer to your question, it is both.

  12. More arrests following Shrewsbury drugs raid

  13. Football: Telford thank Shrewsbury Town for goalkeeping help

    BBC Sport

    AFC Telford United and Shrewsbury Town don't regularly trade players, so Callum Burton's loan move down the M54 has come as a bit of a surprise.

    And Telford have made a point of publicly thanking their neighbours, after losing their goalkeeper Matt Urwin to injury.

    Telford also said they were "really pleased to see the relationship between the two clubs growing well".

  14. Bungalows fire not thought to be suspicious

    The fire which damaged three bungalows in Bucknell early this morning is not believed to be suspicious, the police say.

    A woman remains unaccounted for after the fire and three people were treated for the effects of breathing in smoke.

  15. Glass sculpture at hospital damaged by Storm Doris

    A glass sculpture outside the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital has been damaged by yesterday's storms.

    It was one of two donated by sculptor Tony Roberts following treatment for a serious illness in 2013.

    It's made up of two glass pillars engraved with words from conversations between patients and their loved ones.

    The damage, outside a counselling centre for people diagnosed with cancer, was discovered this morning.

    Mr Roberts says he will try to make a replacement.
