Non-Conformist Registers Shropshire Archives Holds Copies of Registers for Various Non-Conformist Churches and Chapels in Shropshire Non-Conformist Registers Shropshire Archives holds copies of registers for various non-conformist churches and chapels in Shropshire. The registers contain mostly baptisms or births, with a few burials also listed. Some marriage registers are available for later years, although it should be noted that between 1754 and 1837 all marriages, except those of Quakers and Jews, had be performed in an Anglican church or chapel (consult Parish Registers); after 1837, Civil Registration may be the only record available. How to Use this List 1st Column Chapels and churches are listed under the name of the parish in which they lie. 2nd Column This lists the microfiche or microfilm copies that are available. These are photographic copies of the original records. They are stored at the end of the Anglican parish microfiche (Methodist and Other Non Conformist microfiche are all together starting with reference Meth/1 etc.) Numbers in brackets refer to individual microfiche numbers; more precise dates are noted on the fiche envelopes. Dates in italics in this column indicate that the registers are held as microfilm; these are kept in the same drawer. 3rd Column This lists the transcripts available. Entries in bold indicate printed transcripts which appear in the volume Non-conformist and Catholic Registers. Copies of non-printed transcripts are in the red binders Transcripts of Non-Conformist Registers in the PRO, with some second copies in the non-conformist transcripts box. 4th Column This indicates dates which are only available as original documents. These may be seen in the Search Room on production of a Readers Ticket. Full details will be found in the Methodist Registers, or Non-Conformist Other lists. Methodist Circuit Registers These are listed at the back of the main list, each register covering several chapels within the Circuit. They are listed by their modern Circuit name, which may cover several earlier Circuits. For further information concerning the places covered by each Circuit at various dates, please refer to the Methodist Circuits lists in the Search Room. Dr. Williams’ Library: General Registers of Births, 1743-1837 Extracts of Shropshire entries are available at the front of the red binder Transcripts of Non-Conformist Registers in the PRO. Roman Catholic Registers These are listed separately. - 2 - Chapel (by Parish) Microform Transcript Original BASCHURCH Walford Heath P.M.

  • Hodnet Parish Plan
    Hodnet Community Led Five Year Plan 2016 - 2020 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Use of the term “Hodnet” in the Plan. The Hodnet Community Led Plan includes Hodnet together with Marchamley, Wollerton and Peplow. Whenever this plan alludes to "Hodnet" it is intended to represent all the communities within the parish and is used for the sake of brevity. 1.2 Relationship between the Community Led Plan and the SAMDEV. The Shropshire Site Allocations and Development Management (SAMDEV) Plan sets out the proposals for the use of land and policies to guide future development for the period up to 2026. The SAMDEV Plan has been through an exhaustive consultation process and is in the fina l stages of acceptance as the principal means to deliver the vision and objectives of the Shropshire Core Strategy. Hodnet is included in the SAMDEV where it sets out the additional development planned to 2026, the site allocations and the development bo undaries. The Hodnet Community Led Plan will provide additional detail that combined with the SAMDEV and the Core Strategy will collectively represent the development plan for determining planning applications. The criteria laid down for the development of Neigh b ourhood Development Plans are very strict and complex, and in view of this, Shropshire Council is also promoting the development of robust Community Led Plans as an acceptable and viable alternative. While the Community Led Plan does not represent a Neighbourhood Plan under the provisions of the Localism Act; Shropshire County Council has recognised that the Community Led Plan may be adopted by as additional detail to be incorporated into the formal planning process.

  • The Implementation and Impact of the Reformation in Shropshire, 1545-1575
    The Implementation and Impact of the Reformation in Shropshire, 1545-1575 Elizabeth Murray A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts United Faculty of Theology The Melbourne College of Divinity October, 2007 Abstract Most English Reformation studies have been about the far north or the wealthier south-east. The poorer areas of the midlands and west have been largely passed over as less well-documented and thus less interesting. This thesis studying the north of the county of Shropshire demonstrates that the generally accepted model of the change from Roman Catholic to English Reformed worship does not adequately describe the experience of parishioners in that county. Acknowledgements I am grateful to Dr Craig D’Alton for his constant support and guidance as my supervisor. Thanks to Dr Dolly Mackinnon for introducing me to historical soundscapes with enthusiasm. Thanks also to the members of the Medieval Early Modern History Cohort for acting as a sounding board for ideas and for their assistance in transcribing the manuscripts in palaeography workshops. I wish to acknowledge the valuable assistance of various Shropshire and Staffordshire clergy, the staff of the Lichfield Heritage Centre and Lichfield Cathedral for permission to photograph churches and church plate. Thanks also to the Victoria & Albert Museum for access to their textiles collection. The staff at the Shropshire Archives, Shrewsbury were very helpful, as were the staff of the State Library of Victoria who retrieved all the volumes of the Transactions of the Shropshire Archaeological Society. I very much appreciate the ongoing support and love of my family.

  • James Perry – a Late Victorian and Edwardian Shropshire Policeman Researched and Written by Andrew Coles
    James Perry – A Late Victorian and Edwardian Shropshire Policeman Researched and written by Andrew Coles By the time that James Perry first became a police constable, Shropshire policing had already been established for about 40 years. Administration was split into two, with on the one hand the borough police forces; and on the other the county constabulary. The borough forces were established in the main population areas of Shrewsbury, Bridgnorth, Oswestry and Ludlow. The county constabulary oversaw policing across the rest of the more rural parts of Shropshire. Early Life James Perry was born in 1861, approximately 3 months prior to the 1861 census in the rural parish of Preston Gubbals, a few miles immediately north of Shrewsbury in Shropshire. Since the parish is made of several hamlets, it is unclear exactly which one James was born. Both Bomere Heath and Leaton have claim, but the most likely is Leaton as his baptismal record (13th January 1861) has Leaton as residence. His parents were Jonathan and Ann Perry. Jonathan is listed as a retired soldier on the baptism record, but died around about the same time as James was born, as Ann is a widow by the time of the next census. He had probably been retired for some time as he is listed in the 1851 census as a ‘pensioner agricultural labourer’. By the time of the next census in 1871 Ann Perry was listed as remarried to a John Coldwell in Bomere Heath, and like Jonathan Perry he was also an agricultural labourer. At this point James is at school and how much influence ‘step-father’ John Coldwell had on his future career as he grew up, is impossible to gauge.

  • Loppington, Colemere
    Days Out with a religious theme or connection North-west of Shrewsbury – Battlefield, Preston Gubbals, Ruyton XI Towns, Loppington, Colemere. Sculpture of medieval weapons of war, at the site of Battlefield Church, near Shrewsbury. Battlefield Magda and I chose St Valentine’s Day, probably the first mild and sunny day of 2019, to explore the area of Shropshire to the north-west of Shrewsbury. Our choices were guided by the excellent leaflet published by the Shropshire Churches Tourism Group. We began with a very famous church near Shrewsbury, near the site of the Battle of Shrewsbury in 1403. B u ilt The church is on the site of the medieval Battle of Shrewsbury; Magda investigates the lychgate carvings! Alas, the church is no longer used for worship but it is maintained by the Churches Conservation Trust. We were unable to go inside. However, the stonework outside features some wonderful gargoyles. The Chapel was built in 1406 to commemorate those who died in the battle – estimated to be around 5,000. The battle was fought on 21 July 1403, waged between an army led by the Lancastrian King Henry IV and a rebel army led by Henry "Harry Hotspur" Percy from Northumberland. It was the first in which English archers fought each other on English soil, and reaffirmed the effectiveness of the longbow and ended the Percy challenge to King Henry IV of England. The battle itself and many of the key people involved appear in Shakespeare's Henry IV, Part 1. Inside the church, the roof beams display the shields of Henry IV’s knights.

The Non-Domestic Rating (Rural Settlements) (England) (Amendment) Order 2009 (S.I. 2009/3176) prescribes the following hereditaments as being eligible with effect from 1st April 2010:- Sole food shop within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £8,500; Sole general store within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £8,500; Sole post office within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £8,500; Sole public house within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £12,500; Sole petrol filling station within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £12,500; Section 47 of the Local Government Finance Act 1988 provides that a billing authority may grant discretionary relief for hereditaments to which mandatory relief applies, and additionally to any hereditament within a rural settlement which is used for purposes which are of benefit to the local community. Sections 42A and 42B of Schedule 1 of the Local Government and Rating Act 1997 dictate that each Billing Authority must prepare and maintain a Rural Settlement List, which is to identify any settlements which:- a) Are wholly or partly within the authority’s area; b) Appear to have a population of not more than 3,000 on 31st December immediately before the chargeable financial year in question; and c) Are, in that financial year, wholly or partly, within an area designated for the purpose.
