There are only two modern books that detail the site’s history and its legacy. They are:

• White, RH and Barker, PA, Wroxeter: Life and Death of a Roman City (Stroud, 1998; reprinted 2011)
• White, RH, Wroxeter: Ashes under Uricon – A Cultural and Social History of the Roman City (Oxford, 2022)

The town and village are discussed in The Buildings of England volume:

• Newman, J and Pevsner, N, The Buildings of England: Shropshire (2nd edn, London, 2006)
