When the Guild was granted a Royal Charter in 1462 it was required to appoint a chantry priest to say mass for the guild and both the guild and the chantry chapel in nearby St. Mary’s were dedicated to the Holy Trinity.
The chantry chapel still contains part of an altar decorated with the symbols of the trinity erected by the Shrewsbury Drapers in 1501.
The Guild or company continues to worship at St. Mary’s at Christmas and Trinity Sunday and each year in the Trinity Chapel holds two textile competitions where residents of Shropshire display examples of needlework which uses wool as part of its construction.
St Mary’s is cared for by The Churches Conservation Trust, the national heritage charity protecting historic churches at risk.
The charity’s collection comprises over 350 churches nationwide, which hold irreplaceable examples of architecture, archeology and art from 1,000 years of history.
