  • Hughley, Easthope and Shipton
    Hughley, Easthope and Shipton Our visit was inspired by A.E. Housman's poem 'A Shropshire Lad' was spent exploring the churches of Wenlock Team Ministry. Actually, as far as I'm aware, only one church, Hughley, is mentioned by Housman, but it served as a good starting point for discovering the churches in the surrounding area. Within the Team MInistry there are two discrete geographical groupings, one cluster lying north on the road from Wenlock to Shrewsbury, and the other on the road leading south west from Wenlock in the direction of Craven Arms and Church Stretton. St John the Baptist, Hughley The vane on Hughley 'steeple' - in fact it's a half timbered bell tower. Our first church, Hughley, lies north of the Stretton Road (B4371). Its main claim to fame is the mention in A.E. Housman's poem 'A Shropshire Lad' (see below). It's likely that Housman merely picked the name off a map, because it's said that when he wrote the poem he had never actually visited Shropshire, being in fact born in Worcestershire. Indeed, there is no steeple there, and never has been at Hughley, although there is a half- timbered bell tower, albeit with a vane: The Vane on Hughley steeple, Veers bright, a far-known sign, And there lie Hughley people, And there lie friends of mine... Rood screen at Hughley A colourful post-Easter altar cloth at Hughley. Mary and Rabboni stained glass at Hughley Inside, the church is distinguished by an attractive carved rood screen dividing chancel and nave.

  • Rural Settlement List 2014

Background Legislation With effect from 1st April 1998, the Local Government Finance and Rating Act 1997 introduced a scheme of mandatory rate relief for certain kinds of hereditament situated in ‘rural settlements’. A ‘rural settlement’ is defined as a settlement that has a population of not more than 3,000 on 31st December immediately before the chargeable year in question. 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.

  • Much Wenlock to Broseley Via Arlescott & Wyke
    Arlescott Deserted Village and Wyke Much Wenlock to Broseley via Arlescott, Wyke and Benthall Hall bridleways, fields, lanes, 6 stiles. 5.3 miles /8.55 km vertical gain 295ft / 90m Medieval field terraces You can see the remains of the medieval field terraces, hollows, humps and pond bays of the abandoned village of Arlescott, built on a site almost halfway between Broseley and Much Wenlock. The only buildings here now are a farm and a house. It is not known Many listed buildings can be admired from Church Green above. why Arlescott became deserted. Although some villages were abandoned after their You can see Priory Tower, part of a C13th gatehouse, and a row of C16th cottages in Bull Ring below populations died out after the Black Death, there is no documentary evidence as to it being emptied by plague or any other cause. However, the ending the open field strip system of farming caused many to leave the old medieval villages to move to growing nearby towns, in this case possibly from Arlescott to Broseley. This change began in the C15th and C16th when giving land over to sheep and wool became more profitable than growing grain and vegetables, so less people were needed on the land. This change of land use by landowners resulted in hundreds of villages becoming deserted. It was reinforced and accelerated in the C17th and C18th by Parliamentary Enclosure Acts, when the common land villagers needed, to supplement their wages by keeping Raynald's Mansion early a few animals and growing some food, was taken over by large landowners.

  • A0638-Shifnal-Matters-Petition.Pdf
    Dear Sir, It is our understanding that it has been past practice for Shropshire Council to delete all and any signatures on petitions that are indicated as from out side Shropshire. At the same time, it is your published policy that responses to the current consultation on the draft local plan are open to all who live, work or are at education in Shropshire. We wish to draw the following to your attention; 1. The change.org site allocates a location to each signatory based on their internet rather than actual location. Thus, while standing in Shifnal the location may show Telford and whilst standing in Albrighton it may show Wolverhampton. 2. Those who live in Shropshire are highly likely to work outside of Shropshire and during their working day a vote will reflect a location outside Shropshire. 3. Those who work or are at education in Shropshire are also potentially residing outside of the county. 4. During the Covid19 restrictions many residents are working from home. It is common practice for work-places to invoke a system of virtual private networks as a security measure. Anyone using a computer with such a network will be assigned a location by change.org that reflects the networks server rather than the users geographic location. In the era of cloud computing this location could be anywhere in the world. We would want to point out that Shifnal Matters has only promoted this petition through adverts in Shifnal and Tong. Our social media posts are also through pages that are specific to Shifnal and Albrighton.
