Fennemere,
another small township in Baschurch parish, had six houses and 43 inhabitants at the census of 1841. It is situated two miles and a quarter from Baschurch, and five miles S.W. of Wem. (The acres are returned with the parish.) The land presents gentle undulations and inequalities on the surface, and the soil is in general heavy, producing good crops of wheat and barley. The Duke of Cleveland is the sole proprietor. In this township there is a fine sheet of water, covering a considerable extent of land. The farms are extensive, and the houses and out-buildings are conveniently arranged. The resident farmers are Edward Kent, Joseph Lee, and Charles Wood.
