Clunis a parish in the hundred of Purslow—the market town, which was a borough, incorporated by the Lords Marchers, in the thirteenth century, is 157 milesN.W.from London, 26S.S.W.from Shrewsbury, and 16W.byN.from Ludlow; pleasantly and rather romantically situated on a gentle eminence surrounded by hills of bolder elevation. It takes its name from the river Colun or Clun (by the Welsh calledColunwy), which passes through the town, and is crossed by an ancient bridge of five arches. The castle, according to Camden, was built by William Fitz-Alan, Earl of Arundel in the reign of Henry III, and is supposed to have been demolished by Owen Glyndwr, in his rebellion against Henry IV.: it continued in the line of Fitz-Alan until the reign of Elizabeth, when, by the marriage of Mary Fitz-Alan to Philip Howard, son of Thomas, Duke of Norfolk, it became vested in that noble family. It is now a most magnificent ruin; the remains consist of the lofty and massive walls of the keep, the banquet-hall, and part of two round towers. This castle and neighbourhood is conjectured to have been the scene of Sir Walter Scott’s much admired tale of ‘the Betrothed.’ In the parish are the Caer Ditches, orCaer Carodoc, the station of the renowned British hero, Caractacus, and the scene of his last efforts against the Roman general Ostorius; and about two miles west of the town passes the great dyke thrown up by the Saxon king Offa in the eighth century. The government under its ancient incorporation was vested in a high steward, two bailiffs, a recorder, and the burgesses, assisted by a town clerk, two serjeants at mace, &c. The steward is now the principal governing officer, but the court of record for adjudicating claims has been superseded by the new County Court, which sits at Bishop’s Castle, and takes cognizance of debts to any amount not exceeding £50. The Earl Powis is lord of the lordship or honour of Clun, and holds his courts for the same at certain periods; and Clun is a polling station at the election of members to represent South Salop.
The parish church of Saint George is a venerable pile, partially destroyed by Fleetwood, one of Cromwell’s generals, and never since perfectly restored. The most ancient part is the nave, which is of a very early date, probably anterior to the Norman conquest. The side aisles are purely in the early English style, and one of them has a very handsome roof and canopy. In the interior are some neat monuments, and it possesses an organ and a choir of singers. The church is surmounted by a low tower, containing a peal of six fine bells. It formerly was connected with Wenlock abbey, and at the dissolution of religious houses the great tithes were alienated from the church, and are now in the possession of the Earl Powis, who is thepatron of the living which is a vicarage; the present incumbent is the Honourable Rev. George Herbert, brother of the patron. The other places of worship are a chapel of ease in the town, another in the township ofNewcastle, and the Wesleyan and Primitive Methodists have one each. Adjoining the town is Clun Hospital, dedicated to the Holy and Undivided Trinity, founded in the year 1613 by the Right Honbl. Henry Howard, Earl of Northampton, for the maintenance of fourteen old men and a warden. The building consists of sixteen distinct dwellings for the old men, a house for the warden, a chapel and a dining hall forming a quadrangle. The old men receive £2. per month, are provided with a garden and fuel, and have other perquisites. The management is vested in the rector of Hopesay, the vicar of Clun, and the vicar and bailiff of Bishop’s Castle; the bishop of Hereford is visitor. The market is held on Tuesday; and the fairs, May 11th, Whit-Tuesday, September 23rd, and November 22nd, for cattle, sheep, pigs and pedlary. The parish contained in 1841, 2,077 inhabitants and in 1851, 2,121.

Drayton, orMarket Drayton, is a market town, in the parish of Drayton in Hales—which latter is partly in the hundred of Bradford North, in the county of Salop, and partly in the northern division of the hundred of Pirehill, county of Stafford; 151 milesN.W.byN.from London, 19N.E.byN.from Shrewsbury, 20N.W.from Stafford, 9W.S.W.from Whitmore, a first class station on the London and North-Western Railway, and 18S.W.from Newcastle-under-Lyme, which town is about a mile and a half from the line of the North Staffordshire Railway; situated on the north-western bank of the river Tern. In Domesday book this place is calledDruitune; and the manor belonged successively to the abbot of St. Ebrulph, in Normandy, and the abbot of Combermere in Cheshire; and it was from the latter that it received the grant of a market and fair. Blore heath, about two miles from the town, was the scene of a sanguinary battle between the houses of York and Lancaster; the latter, with a force of ten thousand men, being defeated by the Yorkists, with only half that number. At one period, the town enjoyed considerable business, and had one of the best markets in this district, but in consequence of the construction of the Grand Trunk canal its tradedeclined. Under the head of manufactures, all that can be mentioned is that for hair-cloth; there are several corn mills and maltings, and two iron foundries, one of which, Messrs. William and John Rodenhurst, employ upwards of one hundred hands. The petty sessions for the Drayton division of the hundred are held here monthly, and the town is included in the twenty-seventh circuit of County Court towns, under the acts for the recovery of debts to any amount, not exceeding £50. The inhabitants of the Staffordshire portion of the parish have the privilege of proving wills before a steward or judge, appointed by the lord of the manor, which custom is recorded to have existed prior to the year 1680.
The parish church of Saint Mary, supposed to have been erected, with the exception of the steeple, in the reign of Stephen, consists of a nave, aisles, a chancel, and a square tower; the latter supported by buttresses, and ornamented with battlements and pinnacles: the living is a vicarage, in the patronage of Richard Corbet, Esq.; the Rev. James Lee,M.A.is the present incumbent. Christ church, Little Drayton, first opened for divine service, in 1847, was erected partly by subscription, and partly by the aid of the incorporated society for building and enlarging churches and chapels, who granted £325., and the late Mrs. Nunneley, a benevolent lady, contributed the munificent sum of £1,000. It is a neat structure, consisting of a nave, chancel and aisles: the living is a perpetual curacy, at present enjoyed by the Rev. Edward Cheere. The situation of the parsonage is remarkably pleasant, and commands a fine and extensive view over a delightful country. The charities comprise a free grammar school, founded and endowed in 1554, by Sir Rowland Hill; several bequests for clothing the poor, an apprenticeship fund, and two schools, conducted upon the national plan. There are several seats and many handsome residences in the neighbourhood of Drayton, and the country around is fertile, diversified by hill and dale, and fine open plains. The market, formerly of greater note than at present, is held on Wednesday; and the fairs on the Wednesday before Palm Sunday; the Wednesday before 22nd of June, September 19th, and October 24th, for horned cattle, horses, sheep, pigs, and hempen and woollen cloth. The fairs, more recently established, are held on the first Wednesdays, in February, March and August, and the last Wednesday in November. The parish of Drayton in Hales contained, in 1841, 4,680, and in 1851 (including Tyrley in Staffordshire, 784), 4,947 inhabitants.
Hodnetis a parish, in the hundred of Bradford North—the village a small one, is situated 6 milesS.W.from Drayton, on the Shrewsbury road. The parish church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, is a very ancient structure and several handsome monuments ornament the interior, the living is a rectory; the present incumbent is the Rev. S. H. Macauley. Fairs are held on the Monday before the second Wednesday in March, May 4th, and the Monday before the 24th of October. The parish of Hodnet contained, in 1841, 2,185, and in 1851, 2,087.
