THE EPISCOPAL CHAPEL, a neat structure in the Elizabethan style, situated on elevated ground, near the turnpike road, is built of red sand stone, and has a neat porch on the south side, and a small belfry at the west end. The living is a perpetual curacy, returned at £52 per annum. The income arises from a farm in Wales, which, since the return was made, has augmented in value. The Rev. George H. Moller is the incumbent, and the Rev. John D. Letts, B.A., officiating curate. The magistrates hold a petty session for the Albrighton division the second week in every month, at the Fox Inn. The Hall, a spacious brick mansion, formerly the seat of the Ireland family, is now unoccupied. The principal residents in this township are:—Charles Smallman, farmer, Perrill farm; Richard Yates, farmer; Ann Brown, victualler, Fox Inn; and Richard Gough, blacksmith.

THE EPISCOPAL CHAPEL, a neat stone fabric in the Gothic style, was repaired and beautified in 1837, when a new tower was added at the west end. The entrance, formerly on the south side, exhibits the Saxon style of architecture. In the interior is a neat marble tablet, in memory of the Minor family, of Astley House. A new font was added at the time the tower was built. The living is a perpetual curacy, returned at £56, in the patronage of the corporation of Shrewsbury, and enjoyed by the Rev. William Vaughan. In the church yard are the following lines, on a grave stone in memory of Rowland Deakin, who died in 1751, aged 95 years:— “Many years I’ve seen, and Many things I’ve known: Five kings, two queens, And a usurper on the throne; But now lie sleeping in the dust. As you, the reader, shortly must.”
