Haughmond, Shropshire

In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Haughmond like this:

HAUGHMOND, or Hagmond, an extra-parochial tract in Atcham district, Salop; 4½ miles E of Shrewsbury. Pop., 141. Houses, 27. An Augustinian abbey was founded here, in 1100, by William Fitzalan; had revenues, at the dissolution, valued at £260; and was then given to Edmnnd Lytellton. Ruins of it, comprising a church door, the chapter house, and parts of the refectory and the abbot's house, still exist; and some of them show transition Norman character. Clark, the antiquary, was a native.
