Stirchley, Shropshire

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stirchley is a component settlement of the new town of Telford, in the borough of Telford and Wrekin and ceremonial county of Shropshire, England. Stirchley lies just south-east of the town centre, and shares a parish council with neighbouring Brookside, which together have a population of 10,533 in 2001.[1]. 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, notably St James Church, Stirchley Hall, Stirchley Grange and the Stirchley Chimney, now a local landmark. A number of Stirchley's heritage sites are waypoints on the South Telford Heritage Trail.

The former school was removed brick-by-brick and rebuilt at the nearby Blists Hill Victorian Town museum in 1993.
