Much Wenlock is a small town in Shropshire, England, with a population of over 3000. It has a mixture of black and white and local limestone buildings; many of historic interest. Flanked by the Severn Gorge and Wenlock Edge, with the famous Ironbridge and the birthplace of industry on it's doorstep, Much Wenlock can claim to be the centre of some of the most attractive rural scenery in England; an area which has inspired many writers in the past.
The town is also proud of being the birthplace of the modern Olympic Games. This historical fact was confirmed by Juan Antonio Samaranch, the then president of the IOC when he visited Much Wenlock in 1994, and said
"I have come to Much Wenlock because this is where the Modern Olympics started".
Much Wenlock Male Voice Choir was formed in 1968. Ceridwen Constantine has been the musical director since it's inception. Tim Marsh has recently become the Assistant Musical Director. The Choir Accompanist is Rosemary Whiteford.
