FRODESLEY: Geographical and Historical information from the year 1831.

"FRODESLEY, a parish in the hundred of CONDOVER, county of SALOP, 8 miles (W. by N.) from Much Wenlock, containing 179 inhabitants. The living is a discharged rectory, in the archdeaconry of Salop, and diocese of Lichfield and Coventry, rated in the king's books at £4. 14., and in the patronage of the Rev. T.R. Gleadow, M. A. The church, dedicated to St. Mark, was rebuilt in 1809, in a plain but very neat style. Several years ago, coal mines were opened, but they do not present the appearance of having been much worked. The Roman Watling-street, on the line of the present turnpike-road, runs through the parish."
