Hopton Wafers.
Hopton Wafers Registers.
Hopton Wafers is a parish in South Shropshire, three miles from Cleobury Mortimer, and eight miles from Ludlow, situate on the main road from Bewdley to Ludlow. The village, of some sixteen houses, with Church and Schools, is about 500 feet above sea level. The road after leaving this rises gradually to about 1000 feet, where the main bulk of the population is found scattered in isolated dwellings over an open common. Where not agricultural the chief industry is in connection with stone quarries, which supply the well known road metal known as Clee Hill Dhu Stone. The population in 1901 was 461, and is practically stationary. The total area is 1610 acres.
Its situation on the slope of one of the Clee Hills, with extensive views and the beautiful woods of Hopton Court, makes the parish one of the most beautiful in the county, especially during the early freshness of spring foliage and the rich brilliancy of autumn tints.
The name is derived from the Hope (Celtic, valley between hills) in which the village lies, and the ton or enclosure. literally the enclosed space in the hollow of the hills, joined with the name Wain; one Robert le Wafre having held this manor, also that of Tedstone Wafre and Hampton Wafer. in early times,- hence Wafre's Hopton to distinguish it from the many other Hoptons.
The parish is in the Diocese of Hereford, the Archdeaconry of Ludlow, and Rural Deanery of Stottesdon, which also gives its name to the Hundred.
According to the Book of Winchester, Siward, a freeman, held the manor in Saxon times. This and other manors held by Siward passed to Roger de Lacy. who held under Roger Comes presumably Earl of Hereford.
From Roger de Lacy the manor appears to have passed to Bernard de Newmarch, whose daughter and heiress Sybil married Milo Fitzwalter, created Earl of Hereford in 1143.
Bernard de Newmarch founded Brecknock Priory, and at some date the tithes of Hopton Wafre were transferred to that Priory, as we find in 1236 a confirmation of that grant.
In the Charters of Brecknock occur the signatures of Robert Wafre and le Wafre, 1216-22, so probably Robert le Wafre who gave the name to Hopton was a vassal of the Earl. He or his son [?], another Robert le Wafre, held Hopton in capite of the Earl of Hereford in 1265.
In 1275 Roger de Mortimer, of Chirk, married the daughter and heiress of Sir Robert le Wafre, Knight; he was third son of Roger, Lord Mortimer of Wigmore. There was evidently some change, ecclesiastically, which I cannot trace, as in 1279 the Abbot and Convent of Wigmore present to the benefice. Roger de Mortimer was succeeded by his son Roger, and, according to the " Visitation of Shropshire, 1623," left a daughter and heiress, who married Peter Careswell, who also left a daughter and heiress, who married Gregory Pleyley, and again a daughter and heiress married Giles Hide. In my history of the parish. [1] I have given reasons for considering this pedigree as, at this stage, that of the ownership at passing of the manor from name to name.

iv. HOPTON WAFERS REGISTERS.
The Hides. or Hydes, held the manor till the death of Mary Hyde. who died un-married in 1778 and left it to Mary Edwards, who in turn devised it to her niece Ann Stanton; she in 1799 sold it to Joseph Cotton. In 1812 the manor was purchased by Thomas Botfield, of Hopton Court, the ancient seat of the Hydes which had passed by purchase in 1756 to Joseph Oldham, who sold it in 1779 to John Hale, whose son Curteis Hale sold it to Thomas Botfield in 1798. Thomas Botfield left the manor to his nephew Beriah Botfield, and failing issue in succession to his nephew in marriage Thomas Woodward, whose grandson Robert Stopford Woodward is the present possessor.
The Church, a plain building but of good workmanship, was built by Thomas Botfield in 1825, on the site of the old Church pulled down. The latter. from a picture appears to have been an early English structure, probably dating from the 13th century. There is a Church mentioned in 1236. Mr. Botfield's Church was altered and improved in 1892, when a chancel screen, a hammer beam roof substituted for the plaster ceiling. and other alterations, re-seating. &c., effected a transformation of the interior from the very plain work of Mr. Botfield.
There are three bells, the oldest dated 1671. There is also an Elizabethan silver cup with cover. The succession of Rectors is as follows:-

The Parish Register Abstract of 1831 contains the following account of the Registers:- " Hopton Wafers R. Nos. Bap. Bur. Mar. 1729-1768, 1784-1812."
The Registers begin in 1729, the earlier ones being lost. The present Rector obtained a copy of the transcripts preserved at Hereford of a number of the missing years, and the same are printed in this volume.
The first volume, 1729 to 1784, is a thin book, 12½ by 7½ inches, of 37 leaves. on rough paper. The watermark is Britannia in circle on one leaf and a crown over a diamond, with the figures 10 inside, on the other leaf. It has a leather back, with rough brown boards covered with the index of first lines of " a Complete Naval Song Book." dated 1802, pasted over the boards. It appears to be made from leaves of a larger book sewn through, which makes it difficult at times to read the dates; some cannot be read as appears in the copy now printed. There are no signatures. and both writing and spelling point to the workmanship of clerks of little education.
Vol. II. is a foolscap paper book bound in rough sheep; contains baptisms and burials. 1783-1812.
Vol. III. a similar book, contains marriages from 1784-1812.
These, with the Bishop's transcripts for 1638, and 1660 to 1728, are those printed here. They have been transcribed, and the printed proofs compared with the original Registers and passed through the press by the present Rector. The cost of printing the Register has been most generously borne by Mrs. Seymour, as part of her gift to the Society. in memory of her brother the late Mr. Stanley Leighton, M.P.
There were formerly paper mills at Hopton Wafers, hence probably the names of journeymen papermakers temporarily employed may occur.
It is known that there was some connection with Claverley, where also were paper mills, and possibly a comparison of these registers with those of that parish would show a similarity of names
