Reality, myth in Brother Cadfael territory
2000
Overview
Surrounded by this history of intrigue, it is not surprising that Edith Pargeter, using the nom de plume Ellis Peters, set her Brother Cadfael mysteries against the actual turbulent 12th-century history of this area. Shrewsbury Abbey, and indeed all of the historical landmarks Edith wove into the pages of her Cadfael mysteries, really did exist. The Quest is located across the busy A512 road from the church of St. Peter and St. Paul, locally referred to as Shrewsbury Abbey. A car park is across from the church and beside the Quest. Like many medieval towns, the old part of Shrewsbury is a nightmare to drive, but a joy to walk, with curious courtyards, maze-like streets and twisting alleys. As you exit there is a cozy re-creation of Edith Pargeter's study, the walls lined with her novels and numerous awards. Across the street in the Abbey Church of St. Peter and St. Paul, whose original building dates back to 1083, is a beautiful stained glass window in memory of Pargeter. It is this once-great Norman abbey that Peters made the home of her fictional Brother Cadfael.
