Burcott, Leaton, Clotley, and Cluddley,

are separate townships, but returned as one division of the parish, and together contain 614a. 3r. 22p. of land. Rateable value, £1,020. They are situated near to the Wrekin, and intersected by the Shrewsbury, Birmingham, and Wellington turnpike roads; by the Street, Lane, and Watling Street. On this great thoroughfare is a commodious family hotel and posting house, situate at Hay-gate, in the occupancy of Mr. John Henry Taylor.
