It has a station, of the name of Lawley-Bank, on the railway; and its post town is Wellington, Salop. The statistics are returned with the parish. An eminence here is called Lawley Hill; and coal pits and sandstone quarries are adjacent to it. The living is a p. curacy in the diocese of Lichfield. Value, £100. Patron, the Bishop of Lichfield. The church was built in 1865; is in the early English style; and contams 302 sittings.
