Location

Hopton Wafers is a small village and civil parish in south Shropshire, England.

The population of the public parish at the 2011 census was 753.[1] It is located on the A4117 road to the west of the market town of Cleobury Mortimer.

Its unusual-sounding name is derived from Old English hop (a side valley running off a larger valley, originally from a Celtic word) and tun (farm or settlement), along with the name of Robert de Wafre, an early holder of the manor.[2]

A post-medieval glassworks was located in Hopton Wafers which produced glass in the 17th and 18th centuries.[3]

The village church, St Michael and All Angels, was built in 1825: a Norman church had previously stood on the site, but had become dilapidated. The works were funded by Thomas Botfield, who had purchased the manor in 1812.[4] The church contains two war memorials: a marble plaque to men of the parish of Hopton Wafers with Doddington who died serving in the World Wars and another plaque to Lance Corporal Samuel Edwards, KSLI, who was killed in World War I in 1915.[5] The churchyard contains war graves of another KSLI soldier who died in the latter war and of a Royal Army Service Corps soldier of World War II who are among those listed on the parish memorial.[6][5]

There is a pub in the village, named The Crown at Hopton.[
