One day he hatched an evil plan to get rid of the people and their town, he dug a spadeful of earth and set off across the mountains. The earth was heavy and the giant was lost, he came across a Cobbler who was heading towards Wellington, he was weighed down by the worn shoes he had collected from Shrewsbury. The Giant called out to the cobbler and asked him where Shrewsbury was “what business do you have here” The Cobbler replied.    “I am to dam up the River Severn with this soil and wash the town away\".   The Cobbler told the Giant he was way off course!  Shrewsbury was a long long way away; the Giant was already tired and asked what he suggests he does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cobbler suggested he dumped the soil where he was, which was exactly what he did.  And having placed the soil on the Shropshire plain,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Wrekin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ewas created and named after this Giant.
