Bobbington

is a small parish, partly in the Bridgnorth Division of the Brimstree Hundred, but chiefly in the county of Stafford, situated eight miles and a half S.W. from Wolverhampton, and eight miles E. from Bridgnorth. That portion of the parish in the county of Salop at the census of 1841 contained six houses and 22 inhabitants. This county is here divided from Staffordshire by a small stream; the Bridgnorth and Stourbridge turnpike road bounds the parish on the south-east side. The Church is a small ancient structure of free-stone, with a tower, in which are four bells. The interior is small, and fitted up with primitive simplicity. The living is enjoyed by the Vicar of Claverly; officiating curate, Rev. Henry Pennant Cooke, M.A. William Moseley, Esq., is the owner of the land in that part of the parish, in the county of Salop.
