Arrouasian canons from the ancient minster of Dorchester-on-Thames first settled in this beautiful part of Shropshire in 1143. They moved to within a mile of the present site shortly afterwards, but in 1148 a new house was founded by Richard de Belmeis at Lilleshall Wood. Now absorbed into the Augustinian Order the monastery was known as Lilleshall Abbey.
