Rowton, Shropshire
Rowton is a small village in the Telford and Wrekin Borough, Shropshire, England. It is located seven miles north-west of Wellington. The area is a Chapelry Division of High Ercall Parish.
The area was known as Retina in Roman times, later the name changed to Rutone and then to Ruton. In the Domesday Book it is recorded as Rugheton.
In 1876 a meteorite was observed to fall and recovered. It was described in a 2012 BBC web article as "significant" in the study of how the solar system formed."
Rowton Brewery was established in October 2008 .
The village church of All Hallows is a medieval foundation, which was reconstructed in 1881 by the architect Geoffrey Smith. He widened the original building to accommodate a larger congregation and today almost no original masonry survives. It is recorded that Rowton had a Priest as early as 1086.
In 1648, a Parish Return recorded that the Parish possessed "a messuage and six acres in the occupation of George Dayntieth; two acres at Ellerdine in the occupation of Thomas Whytngham and three acres at Rowton in the occupation of William Arneway – the whole valued at 15s". However seven years later at the Parliamentary survey of 1655 records "Rowton Chapel hath no means belonging to it" The church lands were most likely seized during the Reformation and ever since has existed as a 'perpetual curacy' served from High Ercall.
By way of war memorials, the church contains a framed pictorial Roll of Honour to men of "the parish of Ercall Magna" (ie High Ercall) who served and died in World War I (identical to the one in High Ercall church itself), and on the north wall a wooden plaque the three men from Rowton who died serving in World War II.
The ashes of John Beard (1871-1950), former leader of the Workers' Union, were scattered on the graves of his relatives in Rowton churchyard.
