Flower Delivery to Hopesay with Clare Florist

The village of Hopesay is a civil parish located in Shropshire, England. Hopesay was named after a Norman baron named Picot de Say. He owned a valley named “Hope de Say” which later got shortened to Hopesay for the name of the village. Picot de Say set up his base at Clun Castle and owned a manor house in Sibdon Carwood, which is right next to Hopesay. In the 13th century, the village built its first church called St. Mary’s Church. Since the church was built during the Norman era, you will see a lot of features on the church resembling Norman times including the church tower. In 1880, the church underwent restoration in order to save it from further deterioration. However, the church tower still looks almost like it did in the 13th century. This is one particular site you’ll want to check out if you ever come to Hopesay.

According to a census that was taken in 2011, the population of the village is approximately 561 people. Records show there used to be a lot more people living there in the past. But over the last 30 years or so, a lot of people moved out of Hopesay because there are very few job opportunities there. This caused the local post office and village shop to close down as a result. In 1989, the primary school of the village closed down as well. Fortunately, the residents of the village can still travel to other villages within the same civil parish to find work and schooling. Two of the main villages besides Hopesay are Broome and Aston on Clun. The Heart of Wales railway line passes through Broome, which also happens to have its own railway station as well. This makes it easier for the people of Hopesay to travel far outside of their village.
