Lillishall Parish History

[chilterns]

Does anyone know of any written work, book, Internet or papers of the history of Lillishall Parish, St. George, Donnington Wood area for the 19th. century. I am particularly interested in the coal and ironstone industry and the role of the Charter Master (I have two ancestors that were Charter Masters) and the way of life generally of the people at this time.

Thanks for that - there may also be other publications in the list which may be appropriate - I'll look a bit closer

Saw this only last week from etheses.bham.ac.uk/248/1/Hayman04PhD-A1a pdf My Owen relatives lived and worked as blacksmiths at Snedshill forge, Shifnal and this article was really interesting.
