Description
Excerpt from The History of Wem: And the Following Villages and Townships, Viz. Edstaston, Cotton, Lowe and Ditches, Horton, Newtown, Wolverley, Northwood, Tilley, Sleap, Aston, and Lacon
I T has been long lamented, that Shropshire has produced no Author that has taken a Survey of it, and published its natural and civil History. Its Antiquities, and present State. This County does indeed Boast of the famous Lawyer Plowden, the celebrated H ebrician Brough ten, the learned divine Dr. Whichcote, the admirable Linguists Wheelock and Hyde. The excellent G rammarians, Critics, and Antiquaries, Burton and Baxter but still wants a Plot, or Ashmole, to give a 0 topographical and historical Description of it. Mr. Mytttm lately undertook to supply this De feet, and with that View has made very valuable Collections; but the Di?'iculties and Discourage ments he met with, prevented the Execution of so good a Design. Several Years ago I began my Enquires about Wem, which as Time and Opportunity serve, I shall carry through North Bradford. But at Present I shall confine my (f to the Allotments of Wem and Shawbury.
