Mentions of Kilsal
Kilsal, is Kilsall Hall, near Donington, and near Tong, in Shropshire. "The initial research, for the book on ‘Agriculture in Shropshire’, was done by a Mr Bishton. (Plymley:intro.) He was both a landowner, owning Kilsall Hall near Tong, and also a land agent for the Sutherland Estates. Bishton in contrast to Plymley concluded that quarter of an acre was sufficient."
