and four were abolished then (pre-1844 total 4, legal 4; post-1844 total 0): Ackhampstead (1). The chapelry of Ackhampstead (in the parish of Lewknor), transferred to Buckinghamshire. Boycott (1). The township of Boycott (in the parish of Stowe), transferred to Buckinghamshire. Broughton Poggs. (1). Great Lemhill Farm, also a detached portion of the parish of Broughton Poggs south-east of Southrop, transferred to Gloucestershire. Lillingstone Lovell (1). The parish of Lillingstone Lovell, transferred to Buckinghamshire. Shropshire The county had no exclaves after 1844, and a total of eleven were abolished then (pre-1844 total 11 legal 1; post-1844 total 0). Halesowen (11). The ancient parish of Halesowen, excluding the township of Warley Wigorn in Worcestershire, was a large exclave, transferred to Worcestershire, uniting it with Warley Wigorn. It included the townships of Halesowen proper, Hunnington, Illey, Oldbury, Ridgacre, Romsley and Warley Salop. The area around the last, especially on Barnford Hill south of Langley Green had extremely complicated boundaries. Barnford Hill saw the counties of Shropshire and Worcestershire share out field strips. Worcestershire had twenty-seven counter-exclaves and the Shropshire exclave had ten counter-counter exclaves, both sets including field strips of a fraction of an acre. Four of the Worcester sub-enclaves bordered on Staffordshire. Riparian semi-exclaves: The border with Shropshire between Llanymynech and Melverley (the Welsh-English border) runs along the River Vyrnwy, but this river meanders at will. Dropped meanders mean that there are six riparian semi-enclaves of Shropshire, and four of Montgomeryshire. These have been left alone.

The extra-parochial territory of Dudley Castle Hill, including Dudley Castle, was anciently part of Seisdon Hundred in Staffordshire. However, it abutted the town of Dudley, itself an exclave of Worcestershire (q.v.), and the castle was a pene-exclave of Staffordshire because the gate opened onto Worcestershire. In 1926 Dudley County Borough had its boundaries extended, making Dudley Castle Hill an exclave in Worcestershire. This lasted only until 1929, three years, when it was annexed. Edingale (3). The village of Edingale was divided between Derbyshire and Staffordshire, with townships of the
