==Cound==
The civil parish of Cound<ref group="note">Locally pronounced to rhyme with 'Spooned'</ref> is centred around 6&frac12; miles south east of Shrewsbury, approximately half way between [[Cressage]] and [[Berrington]] and around two miles from each. It consists of four small communities. The two largest, Cound, and Upper Cound, are shown on the extract from the 1965 Ordnance Survey 1inch one inch map below. Coundarbour is nearby, although not named on the map, while Cound Moor is some distance to the south.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cound Cound – Wikipedia]</ref> The Imperial Gazetteer of England & Wales 1870 gave the population of the parish as 908, although that included the chapelry of Cressage which would have accounted for at least a third of that number.<ref>[https://www.parishmouse.co.uk/shropshire/cound-shropshire-family-history-guide/ www.parishmouse.co.uk]</ref>
