Following subsequent revisions, the principle Act concerning the designation of Conservation Areas is currently the Town and Country Planning (Listed Building and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. Conservation Areas are areas of special architectural or historic interest, the character and appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance. They are special areas where the buildings and the spaces around them interact to form distinctly recognisable areas of quality and interest. Building groups, walls, trees and hedges, open spaces, views and the historic settlement pattern all combine to create a sense of place. It is the character rather than simply the buildings that Conservation Areas status seeks to protect. 1.2 The purpose of the appraisal The Wrockwardine Conservation Area is an area of special architectural and historic interest, which was designated in April 1999.

  • The Shropshire Enlightenment: a Regional Study of Intellectual Activity in the Late Eighteenth and Early Nineteenth Centuries
    The Shropshire Enlightenment: a regional study of intellectual activity in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries by Roger Neil Bruton A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham January 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract The focus of this study is centred upon intellectual activity in the period from 1750 to c1840 in Shropshire, an area that for a time was synonymous with change and innovation. It examines the importance of personal development and the influence of intellectual communities and networks in the acquisition and dissemination of knowledge. It adds to understanding of how individuals and communities reflected Enlightenment aspirations or carried the mantle of ‘improvement’ and thereby contributes to the debate on the establishment of regional Enlightenment. The acquisition of philosophical knowledge merged into the cultural ethos of the period and its utilitarian characteristics were to influence the onset of Industrial Revolution but Shropshire was essentially a rural location. The thesis examines how those progressive tendencies manifested themselves in that local setting.

  • Tern Valley Trail
    The ‘Discovering Wellington’ Project presents: The Tern Valley Trail A cycle trail linking the historic market town of Wellington to Thomas Telford’s lost canal country The Tern Valley Trail Between 1795 and 1796, Thomas Telford drove the Shrewsbury Canal through the lower Tern Valley near Wellington, rendering many changes to the local landscape that can still be viewed today. The year 2007 marks the 250th anniversary of the renowned Scottish civil engineer’s birth, so what better way to witness his impact in east Shropshire than to get out and see some of the changes he made first hand? Along the way you’ll uncover groundbreaking industrial heritage, medieval castle ruins, secret Second World War history and much more besides, so come with us now and discover the riparian wonders of Wellington Midsummer Fair, Market Square the Tern Valley. Wellington, then The Tern The Tern Valley Trail is a 14-mile, circular cycle route on quiet country roads, traffic-free paths and existing sections of the National Cycle Network. The trail begins and ends in the ancient market town of Wellington, the historic capital of east Shropshire. Wellington’s long and illustrious history stretches back to at least Anglo-Saxon times, while the town received its first market charter in 1244 and became a prosperous centre for industry and agriculture in the Victorian era. Today, the market is still at the centre of town life, while its comprehensive range of specialist shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs make Wellington Longdon Aqueduct an excellent place to start and end your adventure.

  • An Archaeological Analysis of Anglo-Saxon Shropshire A.D. 600 – 1066: with a Catalogue of Artefacts
    An Archaeological Analysis of Anglo-Saxon Shropshire A.D. 600 – 1066: With a catalogue of artefacts By Esme Nadine Hookway A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of MRes Classics, Ancient History and Archaeology College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham March 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract The Anglo-Saxon period spanned over 600 years, beginning in the fifth century with migrations into the Roman province of Britannia by peoples’ from the Continent, witnessing the arrival of Scandinavian raiders and settlers from the ninth century and ending with the Norman Conquest of a unified England in 1066. This was a period of immense cultural, political, economic and religious change. The archaeological evidence for this period is however sparse in comparison with the preceding Roman period and the following medieval period. This is particularly apparent in regions of western England, and our understanding of Shropshire, a county with a notable lack of Anglo-Saxon archaeological or historical evidence, remains obscure. This research aims to enhance our understanding of the Anglo-Saxon period in Shropshire by combining multiple sources of evidence, including the growing body of artefacts recorded by the Portable Antiquity Scheme, to produce an over-view of Shropshire during the Anglo-Saxon period.

  • History of Broad & Bottle Glass Production in East Shropshire
    THE HISTORY OF BROAD & BOTTLE GLASS PRODUCTION IN EAST SHROPSHIRE BY PAUL ANDREW LUTER Page 1 (Top) the Tablet erected inside Shifnal Saint Andrews Church in memory Of Richard Mountford.Manager of Wrockwardine Wood Glasshouse. The Wrockwardine Wood Rectory originally built as the Glasshouse Managers House in 1806.The house still stands today. Page 2 Early Beginnings at Blower Park This Booklet on the history of Broad and Bottle Glass production in East Shropshire since the late 16th Century shows how Shropshire played a vital part in the history of glass production, a part that is generally ascribed only to the Counties of Staffordshire and Worcestershire, particularly the Stourbridge and Kingswinford areas. Shropshire Glassmaking was stimulated by men from outside the county, namely families of French Lorrainers, Tyzack, Henzey, Tittery, Bongar and Cockery, moved from Wisborough Green and surrounding areas in the County of Sussex to an area known as Bishops Wood which lies between Eccleshall in Staffordshire and Market Drayton in Shropshire and is in the Diocese of Lichfield. (1) The Parish Registers of Eccleshall, and Cheswardine, near Market Drayton, Shropshire show specific records of Frenchmen moving into the area, the earliest being the baptism at Eccleshall of Peregrinus Henzey on the 28th of October 1586. Most of these references clearly indicate sites at Knowle Wood and Blore (or Blower) Park about 4 miles from Eccleshall where once stood a medieval village and where an adjoining castle was the residence for the Bishops of Lichfield. (2) It was at Blower Park and Knowle Wood that glass production in Shropshire first appeared.
