Name of church?
Was going to red link the church but am unsure of the name...


 * St. Andrew's Church, Wroxeter
 * Church of St. Andrew, Wroxeter

They both seem to be in use. Any locals with a definitive referenced version? Lame Name (talk) 18:51, 19 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Ordnance Survey on their most detailed map have it as "St Andrew's Church". Though in the end, both variations I would imagine are just as correct, surely? David (talk) 19:47, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
 * So which to use for an article name? Lame Name (talk) 19:58, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I personally would go for "St. Andrew's Church, Wroxeter" - though perhaps without the dot after "St"? I'll leave it up to you.. ;) David (talk) 20:04, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Pevsner didnt use a dot, although thats a bit old now. Datafile28 (talk) 12:47, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Roman Name - What about Uriconium?
While Viroconium Cornoviorum would have been the formal official title of the Roman city, it has also (certainly within Shropshire) been known as "Uriconium" (poetically abbreviated to "Uricon" by Housman). Surely some discussion of the usage of Uriconium would be enlightening in order at least to assure readers what the proper name was. Has it been deemed 'politically incorrect'?Cloptonson (talk) 19:40, 16 July 2012 (UTC) Uriconium was also poetically written of by Wilfred Owen (Uriconium, An Ode) and James Reeves (the more nonsensical There was a man of Uriconium.., every line ending with word ending in "-ium".Cloptonson (talk) 19:54, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
