is a parish and township seven miles N. from Shrewsbury, which contains 872A. 0R. 34P. of land, the chief owners of which are Viscount Hill, Sir Andrew Vincent Corbet, Bart., trustees of Shrewsbury School; Rev. John Wood; Mr. Richard Kilvert; P. Gardner, Esq.; Mr. William Embrey Wood; Mr. John Williams; and the devisees of the late John Kilvert. Viscount Hill is Lord of the Manor. The beautiful and romantic village of Grinshill is delightfully situated, and contains many good residences, occupied by respectable families. In 1801 there was a population of 179 souls, and in 1841 there were 56 houses and 255 inhabitants. Rateable value, £587. 5s. 6d. THE CHURCH, dedicated to All Saints, has a neat, light, and beautiful appearance, and exhibits the decorative style of English architecture; it is built of the Grinshill free stone, and ornamented with a square tower. The interior consists of nave, chancel, and side aisles: a neat mural tablet remembers Robert Embrey, and other members of that family. The living is a perpetual curacy, returned at £82, in the patronage and incumbency of the Rev. John Wood. The parsonage, near the church, is pleasantly situated, and the grounds neatly ornamented with shrubberies. THE INDEPENDENT METHODISTS have a small stone chapel, built in 1843. The Free School in connection with the church was built by, and is supported by, Sir A. V. Corbet. There are 56 scholars attending the day school. The spacious building occupied by Mr. Barkley as a classical and commercial school, was built about half a century after the Shrewsbury Free School, for the safety of the masters and scholars of that seminary, in case any contagious disease should prevail in that town. THE QUARRIES, where the beautiful white Grinshill freestone is got, are very extensive, and give employment to a considerable number of hands. Many of the churches and public buildings in the county are built of this stone, which is of a fine close quality, and superior to most others for carving and ornamental purposes.
