The parish church of Saint George is a venerable pile, partially destroyed by Fleetwood, one of Cromwell’s generals, and never since perfectly restored. The most ancient part is the nave, which is of a very early date, probably anterior to the Norman conquest. The side aisles are purely in the early English style, and one of them has a very handsome roof and canopy. In the interior are some neat monuments, and it possesses an organ and a choir of singers. The church is surmounted by a low tower, containing a peal of six fine bells. It formerly was connected with Wenlock abbey, and at the dissolution of religious houses the great tithes were alienated from the church, and are now in the possession of the Earl Powis, who is the patron of the living which is a vicarage; the present incumbent is the Honourable Rev. George Herbert, brother of the patron. The other places of worship are a chapel of ease in the town, another in the township of NEWCASTLE, and the Wesleyan and Primitive Methodists have one each. Adjoining the town is Clun Hospital, dedicated to the Holy and Undivided Trinity, founded in the year 1613 by the Right Honbl. Henry Howard, Earl of Northampton, for the maintenance of fourteen old men and a warden. The building consists of sixteen distinct dwellings for the old men, a house for the warden, a chapel and a dining hall forming a quadrangle. The old men receive £2. per month, are provided with a garden and fuel, and have other perquisites. The management is vested in the rector of Hopesay, the vicar of Clun, and the vicar and bailiff of Bishop’s Castle; the bishop of Hereford is visitor. The market is held on Tuesday; and the fairs, May 11th, Whit-Tuesday, September 23rd, and November 22nd, for cattle, sheep, pigs and pedlary. The parish contained in 1841, 2,077 inhabitants and in 1851, 2,121.
