From medieval foundations to Victorian rectors, A History of Tong, Shropshire opens a window onto one remarkable English parish and its people. Local history comes vividly alive. George Griffiths traces the intertwined story of church, manor, parish and college, setting this quiet corner of the West Midlands within the wider currents of English church history and national life. Drawing on parish and manor history, records and traditions, he follows the succession of early owners, the line of English clergy and patrons, and the fabric of Tong's celebrated church, while his notes on Boscobel connect local lanes and families to the dramatic Boscobel House history and the legends that still shape Shropshire memory. First published in the high age of Victorian Shropshire studies, this Tong Shropshire history book has long been sought by local historians and archivists, collectors of British local history books, and anyone engaged in Shropshire genealogy research or West Midlands England history. Combining narrative insight with careful documentation, it serves both as an engaging read and a dependable local history reference and informal English parish records guide for the serious researcher. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint -- a collector's item and a cultural treasure. An essential addition to any shelf devoted to parish and manor history, classic topography, and the deep story of rural England.
