Further points to include with references:

The church is one of the standard 'must see' top ten items for any tourist visiting Shrewsbury.

It is a centre for a number of regular civic occasions for Shrewsbury, including the swearing-in ceremony for the mayor, the Remembrance Day services, and the Battle of Britain commemorations.

It fills in useful gaps with links to other Wikipedia articles:

Charles Darwin was baptised here in 1804 - particularly significant when you consider that his family were Unitiarians, and later on Darwin came to be seen by many as the nemesis of the Church.
King's Shropshire Light Infantry - the side chapel is a memorial to this distinguished regiment, and contains a number of their campaign flags
Thomas Telford - advised that the previous building was about to fall down, and it did.
Doric order, Ionic order, and Corinthian order - styles of architecture evident in the building
John Petty (Anglican Minister) - works here.
