Stirchley, Shropshire

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stirchley is now part of the Telford conurbation in Shropshire, lying just south-east of the town centre in the borough of Telford and Wrekin, it also has a parish council along with neighbouring Brookside. It is close to nearby Dawley and Malinslee and located next to the southern side of the the Telford Town Park. Although formerly a farming parish, it was incorporated into the Telford New Town in the 1970s. There are some important heritage sites in the parish, notable St James Church, Stirchley Hall, Stirchley Grange and the Stirchley Chimney, now a local landmark. The former school was removed brick-by-brick and rebuilt at the nearby Blists Hill Victorian Town museum in 1993.
