 Hanwood bricks were in great demand as liners as they were cheaper than most other Shropshire-made bricks.Clopton Lloyd-Jones (1858–1918), sportsman noted for scoring the only goal of the 1880 FA Cup Final, was born at Hanwood House, which was demolished in 1971 and on whose site was laid out a private housing estate consisting of Woodlands Avenue, Chestnut Close and Beech Close.He was baptised in Hanwood Church which contains a memorial plaque.
