Church goes underground in Shropshire

Al Simms & Phil Wright

On March 23, Wem Baptist Church (WBC) in North Shropshire opened its partnership church, called The Cellar Church (TCC), in Ellesmere, a rural town of 3,500 people about 10 miles away from Wem.

TCC meets – yes, you have guessed it – in a cellar. The cellar is underneath the old town hall in the centre of town and provides a fantastic venue at the heart of the community. Don’t imagine dirty and miserable – quite the opposite – think more of ‘The Cavern’.
