In 1739, showman Robert Cadman made a fatal attempt to slide from it, head first, using a rope and a grooved breastplate. His engraved obituary stands outside the west door. The church has ancient origins. It dates from Saxon times and has beautiful additions from the 12th century onwards. Inside, the atmosphere is peaceful with the soaring stone arches giving way to the church’s great treasure – its stained glass.

Shropshire Council is working to make Shropshire a great place to live, learn, work, and visit- we want to innovate to thrive. To make that ambition a reality, we need to understand what our towns and communities need in order to make them better places for all. Our Place Plans – of which there are 18 across the county – paint a picture of each local area, and help all of us to shape and improve our communities. Place Plans are therefore documents which bring together information about a defined area. The information that they contain is focussed on infrastructure needs, such as roads, transport facilities, flood defences, schools and educational facilities, medical facilities, sporting and recreational facilities, and open spaces. They also include other information which can help us to understand local needs and to make decisions.

  • 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.

  • Crida Wind Proposal: the Facts
    Crida Wind Proposal: The Facts A wind farm called Crida (no such place exists) has been put forward in a proposal to Shropshire Council by developers - Sharenergy in Ludlow, Sustainable Bridgnorth and backed by Natural Power in Wales - to put up two towering industrial wind turbines at Meadowley on the historic Jack Mytton Way. According to the Sunday Times, local property prices will be affected by 40% when an unspoilt area such as around Bridgnorth is turned by developers into a 'wind turbine landscape'. Each will be one and a half times the height of Nelson’s column and will completely dominate the ancient natural landscape around the west of Bridgnorth – the gateway to Shropshire. The Jack Mytton Way will become despoiled and potentially dangerous for inexperienced riders as horses may be startled by the sudden starting of Golaith rotor blades and the noise of the wind turbines. The countryside will be degraded, with the west Bridgnorth Hills becoming a target for land-grabbing developers as Bridgnorth becomes a potential wind turbine landscape and a ‘hot--spot’ for developers. Equestrian tourism in the area will be badly harmed with Triffid-like industrial turbines blighting Shropshire's 'flagship' tourist trail for thousands of riders, walkers and cyclists. Shropshire Council describes the trail as giving visitors and locals the chance to discover the 'secret treasures' of the county's 'unspoilt countryside'. The turbines will desecrate the local historic countryside in the west Bridgnorth Hills, with views, noise, and potential health problems seriously affecting the villages of Morville, Chetton, Underton, Meadowley, Upton Cressett, Morville Heath, Tasley, The Lye, Aston Eyre.

    J3/60/2 Lilleshall Parish Council The Memorial Hall, Hillside, Lilleshall, Shropshire, TF10 9HG. Tel: 01952 676379 Email: [email protected] Dear Sir EXAMINATION OF THE TELFORD AND WREKIN LOCAL PLAN 2011-2031 MATTERS, ISSUES & QUESTIONS PAPER Matter – 3 Question 3.2 Is the Local Plan’s settlement hierarchy and proposed distribution of development, particularly between the urban and rural areas, sufficiently justified? With reference to paragraph 28 of the Framework, is adequate provision made for development in rural settlements? I write on behalf of the Lilleshall Parish Council to confirm our support for the statement issued by the Parish & Town Council Group regarding Policy HO10 of the emerging Local Plan. We (the Parish Council) would like to supplement the statement by pointing out that the fundamental aspects of our rural communities are the built and natural environments which combine to provide the intrinsic quality of our landscape. This makes our rural communities what they are. It is therefore impossible to consider the distribution of sustainable development within the rural area, without consideration for the natural environment. The emerging Local Plan provides for sustainable development along with protection of our natural environment through the Policy HO10 in conjunction with the proposals included in Section 6 - Natural environment, where Policy NE7 - Strategic Landscapes is of particular importance. However, Question 6.2 of the Matters challenges the justification of Strategic Landscapes and their consistency with national policy in the Framework. We therefore wish to supplement the statement issued by Parish & Town Council Group with the following points for your consideration. The Lilleshall Parish Council supports the adoption of the Strategic Landscapes, and their purpose to protect the appearance and intrinsic quality of the designated areas.
