SITUATION The Old Vicarage is situated a short distance from the popular North Shropshire village of Bronington. Bronington has a useful range of local amenities to include a local shop, primary school and parish church, yet is only 3.5 miles from the well known North Shropshire town of Whitchurch which has an excellent range of local shopping, recreational and educational facilities. The North Shropshire Lakeland town of Ellesmere (7 miles) renowned for its Lakes and Meres is also a short drive away. Other towns and business centres include Shrewsbury (20 miles), Wrexham

(12 miles) and Chester (23 miles), all of which, have a more comprehensive range of amenities of all kinds. HISTORY The Old Vicarage (including the attached garden wall) is Grade II Listed for it's special architectural interest as an early C19 vicarage retaining it's distinctive early character and for it's contribution to the setting of the parish church. It is thought to have been built in 1836 and, therefore, likely to be the work of William Smith. DIRECTIONS From Ellesmere, proceed on the A495 in the direction of Whitchurch, passing through the village of Welshampton and on reaching the sharp right bend with the village of Bronington on your left, continue for a further 100 yards and turn right (by the memorial). Continue to the end of this single track access road and the entrance to The Old Vicarage will be situated on your right hand side.
