I am trying to find out something about the above named property and the family that lived their. My GG Grandmother Martha PRICE is recorded on the 1871 census as being a General Servant for the COOK family who resided there.She was aged 17 years and unmarried. I would like to try and find out if there are any photographs of the place or records that I could access about staff who worked there. Any help, contacts or suggestions are gratefully recieved.

British film No. 1702982. Wolverley Hall is not shown in "The Buildings of England: Shropshire," By Nikolaus Pevsner, so probably much the same as my mob's Maesbury Hall - a lesser building with no significant "recognised" heritage. Sad that! The only other thing I can think of is that perhaps the Shropshire Archives may have some info re. Wolverley Hall near Wem - not to be confused, of course, with the Wolverley Hall in Worcestershire. Good luck Graham Melbourne
