Welcome back to Third Rate Content! Today, we’re taking you on a mystical journey through the quaint village of Upton Magna, nestled in the heart of Shropshire, UK. Our main stop? The enchanting St Lucia’s Church, where history, mystery, folklore, legend, and magic intertwine like the ivy on its ancient stone walls.
As we tour the village, we’ll soak in its serene atmosphere, but our focus will be on the church’s captivating exterior. From the weathered stone to the towering spire, each element of St Lucia’s Church whispers tales of times long past. But what’s a visit without a story? We’ll delve into the legend of St Lucia herself, the patron saint of eyesight, whose life was filled with miracles, sacrifice, and an aura of the supernatural.
So, join us as we explore the magic of Upton Magna and the legends surrounding St Lucia’s Church. Whether you’re here for the history, the mystery, or the folklore, there’s something for everyone. Buckle up and I’ll see you out there!

Nice one Dan. Not far out of town. So much history in that area
Interesting video. I've not been here even though it's fairly local to me. It's a shame the church was closed but thanks for showing us the outside. Happy new year for 2025! 🎉
Hey handsome Dan 😊
👍 happy new year
Happy New Year!! I always look forward to your videos. Ah, that church door being locked – my heart always sinks when that happens to me haha!
I’ll find out Danny lad
Upton Magna didn't quite escape the industrial revolution that was going on…just a mile down the road at Upton forge the links to the Menai bridge were made. On a personal note my kids attended St Lucia's primary school in the village. I regularly ride through there on my cycle rides to Shrewsbury and beyond.
