Can anyone advise where there was a workhouse in the Shrewsbury area in 1750'ish & where the records might now be found?
I am searching for Phebe Chettow/Blodwell - any references to her (with sources) would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sue

Hi Sue
There was a Workhouse at Cross Houses, Atcham near Shrewsbury. I do not know any other information. There have been previous posts re this subject and if my memory serves me right there was a conection to the Shrewsbury School.
Hope this helps.
