This addition to The Victoria History of the Counties of England series presents an authoritative history from early times to the 1980s of the 27 ancient parishes that formed the borough of Wenlock and the adjoining parts of Munslow hundred: the south Shropshire region including Wenlock, upper Corve Dale, and the Stretton Hills. Three towns are dealt with: the ancient ecclesiastical and administrative center of Wenlock; the 18th Century industrial town of Broseley with its satellite mining and eathernware manufacturing settlements; and the resort of Church Stretton.
