Church Strettonis a parish in the hundred of Munslow, comprising the township of its name, and also, those ofAll Stretton,Little Stretton, andMinton: the market town of Church Stretton is 153 milesN.W.from London, and 13S.from Shrewsbury; romantically seated in a valley formed by the Caradoc, Ragleth, and Longmynd hills. It is a station on the Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway. From the summit of the latter, which is nearly 1,700, feet above the level of the sea, most extensive, interesting, and diversified views are commanded. Many flocks of sheep are kept on the hills, producing large quantities of good wool. This place, which is distinguished by its adjunct (Church), from its townships, as the locality of the parish church, derives its name fromStreet-Town, from its situation, within a quarter of a mile of theWatling-street, which ancient way passes in a direction parallel with the road from Shrewsbury to Ludlow. The town consists of but one street, in the widest part of which stands the market hall and public room, erected in 1839, by subscription, on the site of an old timber structure. The most prominent branch carried on is malting. A court leet is held twice in each year under the steward of the manor, and the county magistrates sit in petty sessions on the third Thursday, monthly, at the Crown, the principal inn here. Church Stretton is a polling station at the election of members to represent South Salop.
The parish church of Saint Lawrence is an ancient and venerable cruciform structure, principally in the early style of English architecture, with a square embattled tower, rising from the centre, crowned with pinnacles. The chancel is ornamented with richly carved oak in antique devices; and in the central compartment of the altar, is the representation of a dead Christ in the lap of the Virgin, finely carved. The windows, principally in the decorated style, with rich tracery, are embellished with stained glass, and in the south transept the ancient carved oak roof is carefully preserved. A large stone coffin, having a lid, and an alabaster slab with an inscription, not legible, were discovered some years since beneath this transept. The triennial visitation is held in this church, by the bishop of this diocess, in August, and in the intermediate years by the archdeacon, in May. Many of the valuable embellishments of the church have been bestowed by the rector at a considerable expense. The living is a rectory in the gift of C. O. Child Pemberton; the present incumbent is the Rev. Hugh Owen Wilson. The free school, here, was endowed by several benefactions: the present establishment combines the objects of a National, with the advantage of a Sunday School, and is open to all children of the parish; the inhabitants have also the advantage of a public library and news room. The other charities are almshouses for four poor people, and some bequests, from which the poor of the parish derive benefit at certain periods. The air of this district is considered exceedingly salubrious; the soil is a fine gravel, and several clear mountain streams descend impetuously into the valleys. The secluded and romantic situation of the place, and its proximity to scenes of deep interest, together with its healthfulness, render it a place of resort for parties from the neighbouring towns. The market is held on Thursday; and the fairs on the Tuesday before Shrewsbury March fair; May 14th, July 3rd (for wool), September 25th, and the last Thursday in November. The parish (including the townships before mentioned), contained in 1841, 1,604 inhabitants and in 1851, 1,676.

To SHREWSBURY, — Dobson, every Friday.
Isa parish in the hundred of Stoddesdon—the market town, a small one, is 137 milesN.W.from London, 33S.S.E.from Shrewsbury, and 11E.from Ludlow, situated on the road from the metropolis to the latter town, close to the southern border of the county, abutting upon Worcestershire, and on an eminence rising gradually from the western hank of the river Rea, which is crossed by a neat stone bridge. The country around here is very productive, and its fertility is promoted by the river, and by numerous fine springs that rise in this neighbourhood. The name of the place is said to be derived from its situation, in a district abounding with clay, and from the Saxon wordbyrig, a town; the adjunct, by which it is distinguished from North Cleobury, is obtained from its ancient possessor, Ralph de Mortimer, who held it at the time of the general survey. The town consists principally of one long street, in which are some good houses, and the mutilated remains of an old cross. The government of the town is vested in a constable, who is annually appointed at the court-leet of the lord of the manor, William Lacon Childe, Esq. This town is included in the twenty-seventh circuit of County Court towns, for the recovery of debts not exceeding £50. Formerly this was a place of good trade, having extensive iron works; these have disappeared, and, with the exception of the extensive paper works belonging to Mr. Thomas Lambert Hall, jun., and which affords employment to a considerable number of hands, the town is not distinguished by any manufactures. The malting business is carried on by a few individuals; and on the Clee hills, about three miles west, are collieries, producing good coal, but the works have little or no influence upon the trade of the town.
The parish church of St. Mary is an ancient structure, with a plain square tower, surmounted by an octagonal spire of wood, and formerly belonged to one of the mitred abbeys. The living is a vicarage, in the gift of the lord of the manor; the Rev. Edward George Childe is the present incumbent. There is a chapel each for Methodists and Roman Catholics—the latter is attached to Mawley Hall, about a mile to the west, the seat of Sir Edward Blount, Bart. The locality of this hall is very beautiful, and the prospects extensive and pleasing. The endowed school was founded pursuant to the will of Sir William Lacon Childe, Knight, dated 1714; and in 1740 the ground was purchased on which the buildings are erected: it is a well endowed establishment, and educates upwards of two hundred pupils, of whom forty boys and girls are annually clothed; and a fee is given for apprenticing boys on their leaving the school. The present income (including land) amounts to about £500. per annum: the management is vested in ten trustees: the head master is appointed by W. L. Childe, Esq., as representative of the founder, and visitor of the schools. The market is held on Wednesday, and the fairs April 21st, May 2nd, Trinity Monday, and October 27th. The parish contained, in 1841, 1,730 inhabitants, and in 1851, 1,738.
