Note: Throughout the Instructor Solutions Manual, solutions are not provided for project,
research and challenge exercises—many of which are substantial and appropriate for term
projects, directed-study projects, capstone-course projects and thesis topics. Before assign-
ing a particular exercise for homework, instructors should check the IRC to be sure the
solution is available. These Instructor Solutions Manual PDFs contain only answers to
short-answer exercises and any discussion questions asked in other exercises. Code cor-
responding to programming exercises can be found in the solutions folder’s chapter-spe-
cific subfolder—e.g., ch01 for Chapter1, ch02 for Chapter 2, etc. Code generally is
provided both in Python source-code files (.py) and Jupyter Notebooks (.ipynb).

15s.
The Church, dedicated to St. Mary, is an ancient gothic fabric
consisting of nave and chancel, having a wooden turret. It was
partly rebuilt and made parochial in the year 1558. The chancel
window was restored by the late rector; the floor is covered with
encaustic tiles. Among the memorials is a tomb to William Mytton,
Esq., who died in 1747. The living is a rectory valued in the king’s
book at £4. 0s. 2½d. in the patronage of W. H. Sparrow, Esq., and

for £132, and there are 23 acres of glebe land. The parish register
dates from the year 1599.
Edward Corbett, in 1654, charged a messuage and certain land with
the payment of 20s. yearly, and directed the interest to be
distributed among the poor, especially orphans and poor widows.
Only 6s. is now received as Corbett’s benefaction. John Gittins, who
died in 1808, left £20, and his widow, Elizabeth, who died in 1819, a
like sum, the interest to be given away among the poor of the
parish. The produce of these two legacies are now in the Savings’
Bank.

MINSTERLEY
is a parish, nine miles S.W. by W. of Shrewsbury, containing 2,875a.
3r. 7p. of land, the rateable value of which is £3,165. At the census
of 1841 there were 168 houses and 914 persons. Population in
1811, 705; and in 1831, 809. Half a century ago Minsterley
consisted of only a few farm houses; but since the lead mines have
been extensively worked it has greatly increased. The lead ore of
this place is found enclosed or covered with a spar, over which is a
kind of blue stone or slate, and contains a great quantity of red lead,
and a small portion of silver. The Snailbeach mines are situated
about a mile from Minsterley, and have been worked for 60 years in
a most efficient and profitable manner, without experiencing any
stoppage. The shafts are from 300 to 360 yards in depth, and the
engine and machinery for crushing the ore are on an extensive
scale. There are about 500 miners daily at work, besides others
engaged in washing and smelting the ore. Upwards of £2,000 per
month is paid in wages. The mines are the property of Messrs.
Lovett, Jones, and Company, and under the management of Mr. John
Harrison. In the year 1851 a Roman pig of lead was found by some
workmen in sinking through a slag heap of smeltings, on which
appears the following inscription in raised letters:—
IMP. HADRIANI. AVG.
It is in length twenty inches, and the girth is twenty inches, weighing
173 pounds.
Some years ago, an act of parliament was obtained by several
landed proprietors to form a canal to carry the surplus water from
Marton Pool to the Severn, which covered upwards of 200 acres of
land for several months in the year. Since the cutting of the canal a
great part of the land has been reclaimed, and brought into a state
of cultivation. The Marquis of Bath is lord of the manor, and
principal landowner. The Fair, or “Gentlemen’s Meet,” at Minsterley,
is held on July 25th.
The Church is a brick fabric, built about the latter end of the 16th
century. It consists of nave, chancel, and has a small wooden tower,
in which is one bell. It is neatly pewed with oak, and the reading
desk and sounding board are elaborately carved. In the chancel is a
tablet, erected by the Snailbeach Company to the memory of their
late agent, Mr. John Nealor. The living is a perpetual curacy, in the
patronage of the Marquis of Bath, and the rector of the first portion
of Westbury, and enjoyed by the Rev. Emilius Nicholson, M.A. The
incumbent has a rent charge, derivable from the Cause Castle
estate, amounting to £60 per annum. The Methodists have a neat
brick chapel here, which was built in 1833. The Free School was
erected in 1843, at the joint expense of the Marquis of Bath and
several gentlemen belonging to the Snailbeach Company, in
compliance with the requisitions expressed in the will of the late
John Johnson, Esq., who provided an endowment to establish and
perpetuate a day-school for the education of all children resident in
the parish. The Snailbeach Mining Company have endowed the
school with £40 yearly, and ordered that every miner shall pay to the
schoolmaster sixpence every quarter. The school will accommodate
one hundred children. The average attendance of the scholars is
eighty. Joshua Williams, by will, in 1819, bequeathed an annuity of
£20 for the education of poor children in the parish of Minsterley.

Condover hundreds, which in the whole consisted of 39 manors or
hamlets, and for his seat he built the Castle of Cause. It is thought
that Roger Corbet or his son espoused the cause of his patron,
Robert de Belesme, against Henry the I., and upon incurring the
king’s displeasure, forfeited his inheritance, which was given to Pain
Fitz John. In 2nd Henry III. the king commanded the Earl of
Chester to restore to Thomas Corbet the Castle of Cause and all his
lands. In 30th Henry III. the said Thomas Corbet had a grant of
free warren in Cause and two years after, the grant of a fair to be
kept on the eve, the day, and the day after, the translation of
Thomas the martyr. The site of the castle is lofty and commanding;
it stood on an isolated ridge, rising abruptly from a deep ravine on
one side, and sloping towards a vast valley bounded by the
Stiperstones on the other. The castle is in a state of complete
dilapidation. There is a colliery in this township, and bricks and tiles
are also made near the village.
The Church, dedicated to St. Mary, has a square tower, in which are
five bells. The interior is neatly pewed, and consists of nave, side
aisles, and chancel. There are many neat tablets in the church. The
living is a rectory divided into the two portions of Westbury in Dextra
and Westbury in Sinistra. The former portion is rated in the king’s
book at £13. 9s. 4½d., now returned at £643, and the latter at £11.
12s. 8½d., is now returned at £556.
Charities.—John Topp, by deed, dated 1716, left a yearly rent charge
of £30 issuing out of certain lands in Vennington, upon trust, to
dispose of the same yearly in the education of poor children of the
parish of Westbury, and in putting out such children apprentices.
Letitia Barnster, by indenture, dated 1726, left for the benefit of the
poor of the parish a small parcel of land fourteen yards in length and
six yards eight inches in breadth. On this land a school was built in
1736, and a residence for the master has since been built upon land
belonging to E. W. P. S. Owen, Esq.
On the tables of benefactions in the church are noticed charities left
by twenty several donors for the benefit of the poor, amounting to
the sum of £153. 13s. 4d. This sum, with an additional £6. 6s. 8d.,
was expended in the year 1710 in the purchase of three parcels of
land in the parish of Worthen, containing about 17 acres, the rent of
which amounted to £43. 10s. per annum at the time the Charity
Commissioners published their reports. One-fourth of these rents
are distributed in bread to the poor of the parish on Good Friday,
and the residue given away on St. Thomas’s day in clothing, fuel,
and money, as is most advisable.
