Hello Peter theres an old map of Shropshire (1787 - so a bit later than you need but might be worth a look) on this web site: www(.)yourmapsonline(.)org(.)uk remove brackets. I can't see the village that you are after but since I am looking for relatives in the same area, I can tell you that sometimes what you think is being referred to as a village is sometimes the name of a farm. Hope this helps. Magsx
