Welbatch Hall? Church Pulverbatch?
« on: Saturday 05 March 05 13:24 GMT (UK) »
Hi I'm trying to find out where Welbatch Hall is or was? I have looked on several old and new maps but have not found it. My Grandpa told me that his grandparents came from Welbatch Hall in Shropshire. Last week I also found their gravestones in Church Pulverbatch which has inscribed that they were 'of Welbatch'. If any one has an idea where it it could be I would be really pleased!
Thanks in advance,
Samantha

Hi Samantha

Welbatch is marked on the OS map about 3 miles south west of Shrewsbury.  Go to
http://www.streetmap.co.uk

Type in Welbatch in the search box and then enlarge the resulting map to see it.  Same with Church Pulverbatch.

No Hall showing but perhaps it no longer exists.

Thanks very much. I think I had tried every map site apart from that one.
I have also found a photo of my ancestor Richard Bromley taken pre-1865

His son's farm was at Lythwood which is very close by and I found on the same map so thanks again!

Best regards,
Sam

there is Welbatch farm which has a huge georgian farm house between Annscroft and Hookagate - just up the road from Church Pulverbatch
