All Round the Wrekin - Wrockwardine

The Enclosure by The Wrekin

Wrockwardine (meaning 'the enclosure by The Wrekin') is an ancient community that has enjoyed considerable status during the course of a long history that stretches back far beyond the last thousand years. By the end of the 10th Century, the settlement was a Hundred meeting place (an Anglo-Saxon unit of local government) and Royal Manor, the southern border of which was known as the 'King's Boundary' until 1231.
