Ellesmereis a market town and parish, in the hundred of Pimhill, 169 milesN.W.from London, 16N.N.W.from Shrewsbury, and 12 from Wrexham; situate near the north-western extremity of the county, contiguous to Flintshire. The town is of Saxon origin, and supposed to derive its name from the water calledAilsmere, i.e. the greatest mere—being the most extensive lake in this part of the country; it covers about one hundred and sixteen acres, and is well stocked with fish. Its environs have two advantages superior to other lakes; a good town borders on one side, and the beautiful park of Oteley on the other. A mansion, in the Elizabethian style, erected by the owner of the property, Charles Kynaston Mainwaring, Esq., and a tower of considerable height immediately adjoining it (commemorative of the birth of his son and heir), form picturesque objects from the town: the park is also a fine one, strikingly diversified with hill and dale. Near the mere is a house of industry for the poor of five parishes, from which is a delightful prospect; and on the Castle-hill is one of the finest bowling-greens in the kingdom from which nine different counties may be seen. The green occupies the site of the keep of the ancient castle, a frontier fortress during the unsettled period which preceded the final subjugation of Wales, and was probably demolished about the close of the parliamentary war. Ellesmere formerly gave name to a hundred, which, with its dependencies, was annexed to that of Pimhill, in the 27th year of Henry VIII. Part of the manor of St. John of Jerusalem extends to the town and liberties of Ellesmere, which is exclusively governed by its bailiffs, chosen annually by a jury at a court-leet of the lord of the manor. The ancient hundred court for the recovery of small debts has been superseded by the new county court, in which claims are adjudicated to any amount not exceeding £50. The town has an aspect of respectability and comfort: it is gas-lighted, and the houses are in general neat and well constructed. In 1833 a handsome building was completed for a town-hall and market-house, the ground floor being for the accommodation of those who have butter, poultry, &c. for sale; while the upper portion is appropriated to public meetings and occasional assemblies. The principal trade of Ellesmere is malting; the barley of the neighbourhood being remarkably good, a corresponding demand for the malt is generally experienced; and the butter and cheese produced in this part of the country are of the finest description. There are several excellent inns, the chief of which is the Bridgewater Arms. This place is in some measure benefited by a navigation, called the Ellesmere canal, which forms a communication between the river Dee at Chester and the Severn at Shrewsbury, and by collateral branches to all parts of the kingdom. The canal was constructed, in pursuance of an act of parliament, in the 34th of George III.
The parish church of St. Mary is an ancient structure, in the decorative style of English architecture, with a lofty square tower in the centre, wherein is a ring of eight bells: the east window is a fine composition in the later style. The living is a vicarage, in the patronage of Lord Alford; the present vicar is the Rev. John David Day. The other places of worship are for Independents, and Primitive, Association, and Wesleyan Methodists. The chapelries ofCockshut,Dudlaston, andPenley(the last-named in the county of Flint), belonging to this parish, are all perpetual curacies. There are two schools for children of either sex, conducted upon the National plan. Ellesmere is the centre of an Union under the new Poor-Law, consisting of seventeen parishes, nine of which are in Salop, and the remainder in Flintshire. The population of the Union, at the last census, amounted to 15,226. The market is held on Tuesday, and the fairs on the Tuesday after the 2nd of February, the third Tuesday in April, Tuesday in Whitsun-week, the first Tuesday in July, the last Tuesday in August, the first Tuesday in October, the third Tuesday in November, and the first Tuesday in December. Ellesmere parish contained (including the chapelries before mentioned), in 1841, 6,603 inhabitants, and in 1851, 6,940.

Hales Owen, (formerly in the county of Salop), in a market town and parish—the latter insulated, separated from Shropshire, and entirely surrounded by Staffordshire and Worcestershire, and extending into the hundred of Haltshire, in the latter county, to which it was in 1844, annexed by act of parliament; 117 milesN.W.from London, 11S.byE.from Wolverhampton, 5S.byE.from Dudley, and 7S.W.from Birmingham, and 5 from Stourbridge—the last named is the nearest railway station, it being on the Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton line. This place is said to have formerly been a borough, though it does not appear to have ever returned members to the legislature. The town, which is seated in a fertile valley, consists principally of one street, in which are some respectable houses, and of several smaller streets, containing humbler dwellings, irregularly built. The river Stour, which rises in some hills not far distant, passes the town, as does the Netherton canal; about half a mile from it. Lord Lyttleton is lord of the manor, and holds an annual court leet, when a high and low bailiff, a constable, and head-borough are appointed. A court for the recovery of debts under £5., the jurisdiction of which included Hales Owen, is held at the court-house, Oldbury, once a fortnight, but this is now become inoperative, by the acts of the new County Court under which debts are recoverable to any amount, not exceeding £50. This place has been noted for the manufacture of nails, chains, and pearl and horn buttons. There are also, extensive iron works, (including the British Iron Company), and manufactories for gun-barrels, wrought iron hinges, anvils and vices, hammers and files, spades, shovels, &c. The coal trade is of importance; bricks and tiles are made to a considerable extent; and there are several maltings and corn mills, in the town and neighbourhood.
The parish church of Saint John, (which has recently undergone a thorough repair), is said to have been erected prior to the Conquest, contains a beautiful monument to the memory of Major Halliday, and a plain one to Shenstone the poet; the benefice is a vicarage, in the patronage of Lord Lyttleton, and incumbency of the Rev. Richard Brindley Hone. There are places of worship for Independents, and Wesleyan and Primitive Methodists. The free grammar schoolhere, was founded under a commission for charitable uses. At a short distance from the town are the ‘Leassowes,’ the seat of the celebrated Shenstone, who received the rudiments of his education in the Hales Owen grammar school, it is now occupied by William Matthews, Esq. The market, which at the present day is of little or no importance, is chartered to be held on Monday (now held on Saturday); and a fair on Easter Monday. The entire parish of Hales Owen contained in 1841, 17,376 and in 1851, 23,330 (this is inclusive of Oldbury township which of itself contained at the last named period 10,155.)
Cradleyis a chapelry, in that part of the parish of Hales Owen which is in the lower division of the hundred of Haltshire, county of Worcester; two milesN.N.W.from Hales Owen, and three from Dudley and Stourbridge; situated on the river Stour, which, running on the northern and western sides of the chapelry, separates it from the county of Stafford. Beautifully situated in a woody district, and pleasing walks, and on the banks of a large pool or artificial lake, is Cradley Spa, where warm and cold baths have been erected; the water is impregnated with sulphate of soda, magnesia, &c., and is much used by invalids during the summer. At one period, an attempt was made to manufacture salt here, but with very partial success. Tin making of nails and chains now constitute the staple of the chapelry. The places of worship are the chapel under the establishment, and three others for dissenters: the living is a perpetual curacy, of which the Rev. Charles Walker Simons, is the incumbent. A national school, established here, is supported by subscription. The soil of this district is fertile, and brick clay of an excellent quality is obtained. The population of the chapelry, in 1851, was 3,383.
Netherendis a small village in Cradley chapelry, adjacent to Hales Owen; and is chiefly to be noticed as having in its vicinity the extensive iron works of Messrs. Evers & Sons, for the manufacture of tar, rolled, and slit iron, for horse nails &c. which furnish employment to many hands, and others are engaged in the malting trade, it also contains extensive coal and brick works. In the village is a chapel for Unitarians, and a free school. Population returned with Cradley chapelry.
