It is situated on the Grand Junction canal and the river Weaver. It comprises the townships of the Morrey and Spoonley.

Shavington Hall, the residence of the Earl of Kilmorey, and Adderley Hall are the principal seats."〔(Genuki )〕 St Peter's church, rebuilt in 1801, is a grade I listed building. 〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 title= Church of Saint Peter, Adderley )〕 Adderley Hall was completed in 1881 but was demolished in 1955.〔(The Database of Houses )〕 ==Shavington Hall== Shavington Hall was a former country house originally built in 1506 by the Needham family, later the Viscounts Kilmorey and Earls of Kilmorey, who had acquired the Manor of Shavington in 1461. The Hall was rebuilt on a grander scale in 1685 by the 6th Viscount to be their English seat and sold by the third Earl in 1885 to Arthur Pemberton Heywood-Lonsdale, who was appointed High Sheriff of Shropshire for 1888. At that time it stood in a park of 600 acres. The Heywood-Lonsdales improved the house and grounds and bought several adjoining estates.〔 〕 The hall was demolished in 1959 as too expensive to maintain.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title= England's Lost Country Houses ) 〕 Also of note is Tittenley Farm. The Tittenley Lodge has been a listed building since 1987.〔(British Listed Buildings )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Adderley」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
