Malamarhomes ARLESTON MANOR WELLINGTON
WELLINGTON SHROPSHIRE malamarhomes ARLESTON MANOR WELLINGTON Arleston Manor Mews and Arleston Manor Drive is an historic, gated development of just fourteen three to six bedroom homes. Situated in the former grounds of Arleston Manor, a Grade II listed timber framed house of the late 16th century, you will be able to savour the unique character of this special location. According to local tradition, Arleston Manor was built as a hunting lodge for James I, though others say it was built by the Foresters for the same purpose. Apparently, Henry II also made it his abode on his hunting expeditions to the Wrekin Forest. The Forester family have been hereditary custodians of the portion of the Wrekin Forest known as Wellington Hay since the 12th century, and their name itself is derived from their profession. Today, however, you have the chance to live in this historic environment whilst benefiting from Malamar Homes’ customary exacting specification for modern living.

Shire Lad in "Inside the Whale,"' an Essay He Wrote in 1940.2 He Was Himself
SHROPSHIRE REVISITED Theodora and Alfred Kroeber, 1959 Our century continues to be much occupied with death, and our creative energies to expend themselves on one aspect or another of death, whether in the waging of war, the invention of implements and devices of war, or in pol- itical and social thinking, or in the plastic arts and literature. Poets are said to speak prophetically. This could mean that, some time before the first World Wiar, their poems had begun to emphasize death over life. Poe, Emily Dickinson, Swinburne, Housman, Kipling, Yeats, and Eliot do indeed use the words death, dead, die, dying, significantly more often than the words life, alive, live, living, and Housman, at the seeming apex of this twentieth- century death-directed interest, is discovered to have employed seventy-one per cent of death words to twenty-nine per cent of life words.1 Since Housman Vrote A Shro shire Lad there has been a world war, and since he published his Last Poems there have been the vertiginous twenties, a depression, and a second World ibr, with their presently complex aftermaths. Reviewing the poetry of the past half-century or so, a style profile, however tentative and incomplete, begins to emerge. We--the English and the Americans--faced what followed on Sarajevo with the bravado and despair of the lads of Housman's balladlike and simple poetry. We volunteered for glory and friendship and death. Never since our immersion in that first world war have values been for us as clear-cut as they were before. It is Housman who gives those lost values their perfect and limited, if astringently negative, voice.

Shropshire's Churchyard Yews
’CHURCHYARD YEWS painted by Rev. Edward Williams M.A. more than two hundred years ago photographs by Tim Hills between 1997 and 2012 Between 1786 and 1791 Rev. Edward Williams made a record of most of ’parish churches. He was described in The Gentlem’ magazine vol 153 as “ excellent ” who had also “much of ” We are told in The annals and magazine of natural history, zoology and botany - vol 1 p183 that his studies included “ catalogue of all the plants which he had detected during many years' careful herborization of the county of ”for which “accuracy is well known, and perfect reli- ance can be placed on any plant which he ” Williams work thus gives us a rare opportunity to see some of Shropshir’churchyard yew trees as they appeared two hundred and twenty years ago. The examples below give us reason to be confident in the accuracy of his recording. The yew at Boningale (left) now has a girth of about 13ft, while that at Bucknell (centre) now has a girth of about 19ft, and the Norbury giant (right) has a girth above 33ft. His attention to detail is illustrated in this example at Tasley. In the painting we can clearly see that sections of the bole are leaning outwards, a process which has led to the distinctive yew we see today. On the following pages, 28 of the yews in ’paintings are seen as they appeared two hundred and twenty years ago and at they are now. We are grateful to Shropshire Archives for granting us permission to use their material in this way.
