"Battlefield Church, Salop: an historical and descriptive sketch" by Fletcher is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book primarily explores the rich history surrounding Battlefield Church and its foundational significance stemming from the Battle of Shrewsbury. It provides readers with an overview of both the church's architectural details and the historical context of the events that led to its establishment. The text delves into the origins of Battlefield
Church, tracing its foundation back to the victory of King Henry IV at the Battle of Shrewsbury in 1403. The author details the battle itself, highlighting key figures and events, including the defeat of Henry Percy, known as "Hotspur." The narrative goes on to discuss the church's construction, the establishment of the chantry and its patrons, and the subsequent changes it underwent through the centuries, including restorations in the 18th and 19th centuries. Throughout, Fletcher presents a blend of historical and descriptive elements that reflect the church's importance both as a religious institution and a monument of local history.
