Lyneal is a small village in the civil parish of Welshampton and Lyneal, in Shropshire, England.
Its earliest recorded name was Lunval.[1] It has also been known as Lineal.[2]
John Bartholomew described it in 1887 in an entry in his Gazetteer of the British Isles thus: "Lineal cum Colemere, eccl. dist., Ellesmere and Welsh Hampton pars., Shropshire, pop. 367; contains Lineal, hamlet, 3 miles S.E. of Ellesmere; P.O., called Lyneal."[2]
It was formerly part of the parish of Lyneal cum Colemere. According to Edward Cassey and Co.'s 1871 History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Shropshire, "LYNEAL CUM COLEMERE are two villages and townships forming a new parish recently taken out of the parish of Ellesmere. The church is a beautiful specimen of Gothic architecture on a small scale. It was built at a cost of about 2,500 by Lady Marian Alford as a memorial church to her son the late Earl Brownlow it is dedicated to St John the Evangelist and will afford sitting accommodation to 220 persons the seats are all free The living is a vicarage value 164 per annum in the gift of Earl Brownlow and held by the Rev R Lundin Brown MA.
