WOMBRIDGE is a parish, in the same division as Wellington—the village
being about three miles east from that town. The Shrewsbury, Shropshire
and Marquess of Stafford’s Canals forms a junction in this parish, which
is intersected by the _Watling Street_ of the Romans, and the main road
to Holyhead—also by several tram-roads from the coal and iron works at
Ketley, &c. The parish church is dedicated to Saint Leonard: the living
is a perpetual curacy, in the presentation of the family of Charlton.
The parish contained, in 1841, 2,057, and in 1851, 2,166 inhabitants.
