Old St Chad's Church near College Hill in Shrewsbury is believed to have been founded in Saxon times by King Offa, though it is possible it has an even earlier foundation than that. The building was largely destroyed when the central tower collapsed in 1788, what existed of the building when this collapse happened was a largely 13th-century building. All that remains of the earlier building is a side chapel surrounded by a disused churchyard which also contains an exposed crypt .
The present building was built 1/3 mile to the west and opened in 1792.
