From New Meadow Stadium we motored on to Much Wenlock. Here it was where the first modern Olympian Games were held, starting in 1850, leading to the naming of one of the 2012 Olympics mascots as Wenlock.

As a result of his 2012 Olympic tennis win the town is now the proud host to a gold-painted postbox.
