The country around here is very fertile, the prospects beautiful, and enriched by many seats of note; and among other subjects worthy of observation in the neighbourhood, are the ruins of Saint John’s abbey at Lilleshall, about three miles hence. The market is held on Saturday; cattle and sheep fairs (or markets), every alternate Tuesday, and annual fairs on the first Tuesday after Candlemas, the Saturday before Palm-Sunday, May 28th, July 27th, Sept. 25th, and December 10th, principally for live stock. The parish contained, by the returns rendered in 1841, 2,497 inhabitants, and by those in 1851, 2,906. POST OFFICE, High street, Maria J.
