Wem Rural

Here are the draft texts of our histories of six of the townships of Wem Rural together with an introduction.

These draft texts will not be published in book form for the time being, but they will be revised in the future – both in the light of research we are still undertaking but also drawing on corrections and suggestions from our readers.
