Featuring a monk hard at it with his pen, this inn sign could be found in Burton-on-Trent in 1990. At the top of Burton-on-Trent's Market Place stands Saint Modwen's Church. This was built on the site of the eastern part of the former Benedictine Abbey Church. The Abbey was dissolved in 1539 but survived as a collegiate church until 1545 when it was acquired, with its lands, by Sir William Paget, whose descendants later became Earls of Uxbridge and Marquis of Anglesey. This eventually fell into ruin although part of the Abbey church remained and was used as the parish church until the present church was built by William and Richard Smith of Tettenhall between 1719 and 1726. The interior retains many of its 18th century features. The font is the only known relic connected with the previous church and bears the date 1662.
