HUGHLEY

is a parish and village delightfully situated in a lovely vale four and a half miles S.W. from Much Wenlock; the Wenlock Edge bounds the parish on the eastern side, and on the west is a small mountain stream.  The parish contains 1,111a. 3r. 38p. of land, the soil of which for the most part is of an inferior description, but produces tolerable crops of oats, and wheat is also grown.  Rateable value £817.  The land in this parish is the property of the Earl of Bradford, except about three roods and a small cottage.  A bridge has recently been built over the stream here, which is a great advantage and convenience to the inhabitants, as the waters occasionally rush with great impetuosity from the hilly district, and render the fording of the stream dangerous.  The bridge was built by subscriptions, under the superintendence and aid of the late rector.  In former times the extensive woods with which Hughley was surrounded were long the retreat of robbers; a commission was issued in the reign of Richard II. to inquire into the best means of securing the banditti, and protecting travellers from their lawless depredations.

Directory.—Richard Bullock, blacksmith; Edward Corfield, miller; Elizabeth Owen, farmer; Thomas Madeley, farmer; Rev. John Wakefield, M.A., rector; Andrew Walker, farmer, Upper Hill farm; Richard Walleter, farmer, Lower Hill farm.

LINLEY

is a small parish in the Wenlock franchise, situated about three and a half miles south-east from Much Wenlock.  The parish comprises 636 acres of land, the principal owners of which are Lord Forester and John Stephens, Esq.  At the census in 1801 there were 108 inhabitants; 1831, 111; and in 1851, 105; of whom 42 were males, and 63 females.  At the same period there were 19 inhabited houses, and one uninhabited.  Gross estimated rental of the parish, £809. 2s.  Rateable value, £729. 18s.  Lord Forester is lord of the manor and impropriator.  The Church, a plain, unpresuming structure, has the appearance of great antiquity: the windows are small and square headed, and there is a short tower.  The church is situated in a field, and near it stands a venerable yew tree, but there is no inclosed burial ground.  The living is a rectory, annexed to that of Broseley.  The Hon. and Rev. Orlando Forester is the incumbent.  Divine service is only performed once a month.  Linley Hall was formerly the seat of the ancient family of Lacon, who possessed the greater part of the parish.  It is a plain brick structure, now occupied by Miss Martha Onions.

Directory.—George Carpenter, vict., Duke of Wellington Inn; Robert Harrison, farmer; Joseph Langmore, wheelwright and blacksmith; Ann Newton, vict., Britannia Inn; Miss Martha Onions, Linley Hall; Edward Owen, proprietor of Owen’s pills and drops, Linley Villa; Josiah Wellings, bailiff to Mr. Hembry.

LITTLE WENLOCK

The Church is a very ancient structure, dedicated to St. Lawrence.  The body of the church appears of older date than the tower, which was built in 1667.  The fabric was enlarged in 1822 by adding a south transept of brick; the rest of the structure is of free stone.  The tower contains five bells.  The pulpit is of carved oak, very ancient.  There is accommodation for upwards of 600 persons: 520 of the seats are free and unappropriated.  A neat marble font is placed at the west end.  The living is a rectory, valued in the king’s book at £11. 13s. 4d., in the patronage of Lord Forester: incumbent, Rev. George Edmonds, M.A.  The tithes have been commuted for £584. 3s. 4d., and there are nine acres of glebe land.  The parish register dates from the year 1689.  In the church-yard are several venerable yew trees.  The Rectory is a commodious brick residence, a short distance from the church, from which are seen some pleasing and picturesque views of the country.  The house stands 600 feet above the level of the Severn, whose silvery waters flow in the vale beneath.  Wenlock Hall is now divided into cottage tenements.  Huntington is a hamlet about a mile north from the church.  Coalmoor a hamlet a mile south from the church.

Charities.—Maurice Haywood, who died in 1760, bequeathed the sum of £10, the interest thereof to be distributed in bread to the poor of the parish on St. Thomas’s day, yearly.  This legacy was paid to the churchwarden, and the parish has ever since made a distribution of bread to the amount of the interest at five per cent.  Mrs. Alice Green gave an annuity of 11s. 6d. to the poor of this parish, payable out of an estate called the Dairy House Farm, at Brierley, in the parish of Sedgley, in Staffordshire, of which 10s. was to be given to the poor, and 1s. 6d. to the person who fetched it for his trouble.  The estate on which this annuity is charged is the property of Mrs. Foley.  Much irregularity has taken place in the payment of this little annuity, in consequence apparently of the distance from which it was to be procured.

Mrs. Mary Tipton, in the year 1844, bequeathed £50, and directed so much of the interest as should be necessary to be applied in painting and keeping in repair her monument in the church-yard, and the residue to be annually distributed among the poor.  Mrs. Hannah Shepherd bequeathed the sum of £100, the interest to be applied in the purchase of suitable clothing for the benefit of the poor.

Marked 1 are at Coalmoor, 2 Huntingdon, and the rest in Little Wenlock or where specified.

is a considerable parish and market town in the Wenlock Franchise, four and a half miles S.W. from Shiffnal, nine miles N.N. by W. from Bridgnorth, and fifteen miles S.E. from Shrewsbury.  This parish is celebrated for its valuable mines of coal and ironstone, its extensive and flourishing ironworks, the Coalport china manufactory, and the manufacture of superior bricks.  The parish comprises 2,810 acres of land; at the census of 1801 there were 4,758 inhabitants; 1831, 5,822; 1841, 7367; and in 1851, 8,524; of whom 4,163 were males and 4,361 females; at the latter period there were 1,711 inhabited houses, 47 uninhabited, and four houses building.  Rateable value, £19,900.  The principal landowners are Joseph Reynolds, Esq., James Foster, Esq., Abraham Darby, Esq., Rev. John Bartlet, Francis and John Yates, Esqrs., and the representatives of the late Francis Darby, Esq.  Joseph Reynolds, Esq., is lord of the manor.  The town of Madeley so far as regards that portion in the vicinity of the church is irregularly built, and consists chiefly of detached ranges of cottages rather than streets; in the immediate vicinity are a number of handsome villa residences and neat cottages.  The Prior and convent of Wenlock in the 53rd of Henry III. had the grant of a market on Tuesday, to be held at Madeley, and a fair on the eve, the day, and the morrow of St. Matthew the apostle and evangelist.  This market subsequently became obsolete, but was revived in 1763, when a new market house was built in the Dale at Ironbridge; here a flourishing market is held on Friday, and fairs are held on January 26th, May 29th. and October 12th.  The extensive establishment of Abraham Darby and Company, ironmasters, and the porcelain manufactory of Messrs. Rose and Co., give employment to a great number of the labouring population.  The Madeley Wood Company’s iron works employ about eight hundred operatives, and in the establishment of James Foster and Company are employed upwards of five hundred hands, chiefly in making pig iron.  A house and barn not far from the church at Madeley, afforded shelter to the unfortunate Charles II., after his defeat at the battle of Worcester.  Madeley Court House, an antique old mansion in the Elizabethan style of architecture, was formerly the residence of Sir Basil Brooke, fourth in descent from Sir Basil Brooke, a zealous royalist in the time of Charles I.  It is now the residence of Mr. George Jones; in the grounds is a curious old sun-dial.  The Madeley County Court, for the recovery of debts, embraces the following parishes and places, viz.: Albrighton, Badger, Barrow, Beckbury, Benthall, Blymhill, Bonninghall, Broseley, Buildwas, Dawley, Donnington, Kemberton, Linley, Little Wenlock, Madeley, Much Wenlock, Patshull, Posenhall, Ryton, Sheriff Hales, Shiffnal, Stirchley, Stockton, Sutton Maddock, Tong, Weston-under-Lizard, and Willey.  Judge, Uvedule Corbet, Esq.: Clerk, George Potts, Esq.: Assistant Clerk, Mr. William Bailey: High Bailiff, Mr. Richard Thursfield.

The Madeley Poor Law Union comprehends twelve parishes, embracing an area of forty-three square miles, with a population returned at the census of 1831 of 22,164 souls: in 1841 the inhabitants had increased to 26,172, and at the last census in 1851 there were 27,626 inhabitants, of whom 13,668 were males and 13,958 females.  The Union House is a plain brick structure which will accommodate 140 inmates; the average number of paupers is about 70.  The parishes embraced within the Union are Madeley, Little Wenlock, Buildwas, Dawley, Stirchley, Broseley, Benthall, Posenhall, Barrow, Linley, Willey, and Much Wenlock.  Clerk to Guardians, William Reynolds Anstice, Esq.: Superintendent Registrar; Mr. Edwin R. Evans: Chaplain, Rev. James H. Gwyther: Governor, William Wildblood.

Ironbridge, a populous and interesting portion of the parish of Madeley, takes its name from an iron bridge which has been erected across the Severn at this place.  Here are many handsome residences, good inns, and shops in all the different branches of the retail trade.  A flourishing market is held on Friday.  A market hall has been built, gas introduced, and the whole has a thriving and prosperous appearance, and may be considered the focus of commercial pursuits in the parish.  The iron bridge which spans the Severn is a magnificent structure, and was cast at the Coalbrook Dale Works, in 1799.  The span of the arch is one hundred feet six inches, height forty feet, and the road way twenty four feet broad.  It was the first iron bridge erected in England.  The total weight of the iron in the bridge is three hundred and seventy-eight tons, and the whole was erected in the space of three months.  The abutments of the bridge are of stone, covered with plates of iron, with mortices, in which stand two upright pillars of the same.  Against the foot of the inner pillar, the bottom of the main rib bears on the base plate.  This rib consists of two pieces connected by a dove-tail point, in an iron key, and secured by screws.  The cross stays, braces circle in the spandrils, and the brackets connect the larger pieces, so as to keep the bridge perfectly steady; while a diagonal and cross stays, and top plates, connect the pillars and ribs together in opposite directions.  The bridge is covered with iron top plates, projecting over the ribs on each side, and on this projection stands the balustrade of cast iron.  The bridge being private property a small charge is made to pass over.  Large quantities of iron, all kinds of castings, coal, and lime are shipped at the wharf to distant parts of the country.  Near to the Lodge Farm are several beds of fine sand, which is much used by the Coalbrook Dale Company in their beautiful castings.

Coalbrook Dale, a winding glen two miles from Madeley, hemmed in by lofty hills and hanging woods, is celebrated for the most considerable iron works in England; the forges, mills, and steam engines, with all their vast machinery,—the flaming furnaces, and smoking chimneys, with handsome residences nestling under the cliffs of the hills, have altogether a most romantic and singular appearance, and perhaps in no part of the globe are features of so diversified and wonderful a character brought together within so limited a compass,—here art has triumphed over nature, and the barren wilderness has been converted into one of the most animating abodes of commerce, and being studded with residences of taste and elegance, it gives the whole a very interesting appearance.  Coalbrook Dale is chiefly the property of the Darby family, who carry on the extensive iron works here and in the adjoining parish of Dawley, where they have been already noticed.  The Coalbrook Dale Company is one of the largest establishments in England, justly celebrated for the superiority of their castings, and for the manufacture of every description of iron goods.  The Friends’ Meeting House, a neat brick structure, was built in 1789, and has a small burial ground attached.  It stands near the site of a former meeting house.  The Wesleyan Chapel, a plain brick structure, was occasionally the scene of the labours of the eminent Fletcher, the vicar of Madeley.  A spacious school room has been built at the expense of the Coalbrook Dale Company, where about eighty boys are instructed.  It is chiefly supported by the liberality of the same company.  The room above the school is used as an episcopal place of worship, and here the curate of Madeley usually officiates twice on the Sabbath.  A commodious school for girls has been built near the works, which is supported by Mrs. Abraham Darby; here about one hundred girls and an equal number of infants are now receiving instruction.  Sunny-side House, a good brick residence on the heights above the dale, was unoccupied when our agent visited Coalbrook Dale.  The residences of Abraham Darby, Esq., Richard Darby, Esq., and the Mrs. Darby, are handsome mansions, situated near the works in the dale.  East Field is a good residence at the bottom of the dale, the seat of Barnard Dickinson, Esq., near to which is Severn House, the residence of Henry Dickinson, Esq., besides which there are several other handsome residences.

Coalport, celebrated for its rich and extensive china works, is situated about two miles from Ironbridge.  The eminent firm of Rose and Company has been established here upwards of half a century; and the articles produced at this manufactory, for superior taste and elegant workmanship, are nowhere excelled.  The establishment is known as the Coalbrook Dale China Manufactory, and is the most extensive in the kingdom.  The firm employs 537 operatives.

The annuity of 5s. above mentioned was formerly paid out of premises belonging to Mr. Beddoes, but by whom given is not known.  In the returns made under the Act of the 26th George III., it is attributed to a person of the name of Johnson, and there was formerly such a person who had property in this parish.  A person of the name of Bowdler, who held the premises after Beddoes, became bankrupt, when the premises were sold, and there being no means of establishing a claim to this annuity against the purchase, it was agreed that the trustees of the other charity should receive from the assignees the sum of £5, in lieu and in discharge of this annuity.  This sum, and 20s. for four years arrears, was accordingly paid to the trustees, and by them placed in the savings bank.  Mr. William Yate, in 1810, bequeathed four kneelings in his pew in the gallery of the church for the benefit of the Sunday school.

The following biographical sketch of the Rev. John Fletcher, formerly vicar of Madeley, is taken from the account of that celebrated individual published by the Rev. Robert Cox, curate of St. Leonard’s, Bridgnorth, and other authorities:—“John Guillaume de la Flechere, or as he was generally designated in this his adopted country, John William Fletcher, was born in Switzerland, at Nijon, in the Pays de Vaud.  His father, in the early part of his life, had been an officer in the French service, but on his marriage retired from the army, and afterwards became a colonel in the militia of his own country.  Young Fletcher having passed the early part of his boyhood at Nion, was sent to the University of Geneva, where he was soon distinguished by the superiority of his talents, and the intensity of his application.  About this period Fletcher met with a providential escape, which he never afterwards mentioned without the strongest expressions of gratitude.  He lived for some time at a place very near the Rhine, where he frequently bathed, being careful to keep near the shore that the stream might not carry him away.  Once, however, being less careful than usual, he was drawn into mid-channel, where the course of the water was very swift.  He endeavoured to swim against it, but in vain, till he was hurried a distance of five miles from home.  At last, despairing of life, he was cheered by the sight of a fine smooth creek, into which he was swiftly carried by a violent stream.  A powder mill stood directly across it, and the last thing he could remember was the striking of his breast against one of the piles on which it stood.  He then lost his senses, and knew nothing more till he rose on the other side of the mill, in a calm safe place, perfectly well.  Many persons gladly welcomed him on shore; and one gentleman in particular said, ‘I looked when you went under the mill, and again when you rose on the other side.  The time of your being immerged among the piles was exactly twenty minutes.’”

After the arrival of Mr. Fletcher in this country, he resided about eighteen months in the house of a Mr. Burchell, in Herefordshire, under whose directions he studied the English and various branches of polite literature.  At length he was engaged as a tutor in the family of Mr. Hill, M.P. for Shrewsbury, who resided at Tern Hall, in this county.  Mr. Fletcher generally accompanied the family to London, when Mr. Hill went to attend his parliamentary duties; and on one of these journeys he accidentally met with a poor woman who, he said, talked to him so delightfully of Jesus Christ, that he knew not how the time passed away.  This little circumstance was attended with the most important results; and although at first he felt somewhat indignant at the idea of not being perfectly acquainted with the nature of religion, yet at length he obtained that lively faith which, through the grace of God, will incite men to do all they can do, whilst it teaches them to rely upon nothing which they have done.

There was an energy in his preaching, observes Mr. Gilpin, that was irresistible; his subjects, his language, his gestures, the tone of his voice, and the turn of his countenance, all conspired to fix the attention and affect the heart.  Without aiming at sublimity, he was truly sublime, and uncommonly eloquent without affecting the orator.  He was wonderously skilled in adapting himself to the different capacities and conditions of his hearers.  He could stoop to the illiterate and rise with the learned; he had incontrovertible arguments for the sceptic, and powerful persuasions for the listless believer; he had sharp remonstrance for the obstinate, and strong consolation for the mourner.  Mr. Wesley describes him as superior to Whitfield in his qualifications as a public preacher.  Instead of being confined, says he, to a country village, he ought to have shone in every corner of our land.  He was full as much called to sound an alarm through all the nation as Mr. Whitfield himself; nay, abundantly more so, seeing he was much better qualified for that important work.  He had a more striking person, an equally winning address, together with a richer flow of fancy, a stronger understanding, a far greater treasure of learning, both in languages, philosophy, philology, and divinity; and above all, which I can speak with full assurance, a more deep and constant communion with the Father and with the Son Jesus Christ.  It is not to be supposed that so zealous a minister of the gospel would meet with no opposition.  The drunken colliers and self-interested publicans were his special enemies.  The voluptuary detested his temperance; the licentious were offended at his gravity and strictness; and the formal were roused to indignation by that spirit of zeal and devotion which influenced his whole conduct.  And to these opponents must be added some of the neighbouring clergy and magistrates, who objected to his well-intended but unauthorised interference in their parishes.  In spite, however, of these oppositions, his piety and benevolence won upon the people, and the church, which at first was so thinly attended that he was discouraged by the smallness of the congregation, began to overflow, and he saw an effectual change take place in many of his flock.  Madeley abounded with persons in extreme indigence, and over this destitute part of his flock Mr. Fletcher watched with peculiar concern.  The whole rents of his small patrimonial estate were set apart for charitable uses, and he drew so liberally from his other funds as at times almost to deprive himself of the necessaries of life.  In order to feed the hungry, he led a life of self-denial and abstinence; and to cover the naked he clothed himself in the most homely attire.

As a clergyman he was never exceeded in zeal, disinterestedness, affection for his flock, or anxiety for their spiritual welfare.  As a writer Mr. Fletcher was considerably above mediocrity, and had he been a candidate for literary distinction he had talents to have occupied no inconsiderable rank.  His deportment and manners were of the most engaging and courteous kind, presenting such a combination of gravity, condescension, and gentleness as few have ever witnessed.  Of his appearance in the pulpit the liveliest fancy could not frame from any of the ancient saints an aspect more venerable or more apostolic.  The abundant current of his charity flowed in affection towards all, and his liberal heart rejoiced in the spiritual welfare of other denominations.

In the church-yard is a plain and simple tomb to his endeared memory, covered with a cast iron plate, on which in raised letters is the following memorial:—

“He lies the body of
The Rev. John William De La Flechere,
vicar of Madeley.
He was born in Nijon, in Switzerland,
September 12th, MDCCXXIX,
and finished his course in this village,
August 14th, MDCCLXXXV,
where his unexampled labours will be long remembered.
He exercised his ministry for the space of
twenty-five years in this parish,
with uncommon zeal and ability.
Many believed his report and became his joy
and crown of rejoicing,
while others constrained him to take up the
lamentation of the prophet:—
‘All day long I have stretched out my hands
unto a disobedient and gainsaying people,
yet surely my judgment is with the Lord
and my works with my God.’
‘He being dead yet speaketh.’”

The following is a copy of the entry in the parish register:—“John Fletcher, clerk, died on Sunday evening, August 14th, 1785.  He was one of the most apostolic men of the age in which he lived.  His abilities were extraordinary, and his labours unparalleled.  He was a burning and shining light, and as his life had been a common blessing to the inhabitants of this parish, so the death of this great man was lamented by them as a common and irreparable loss.  This little testimony was inserted by one who sincerely loved and honoured him.  Joshua Gilpin, vicar of Wrockwardine.”
