The Ordericus Vitalis Group was founded and led by Dr Sylvia Watts. It used to meet in Shrewsbury to study medieval Latin documents relating to Shropshire. Among these, were a collection of documents relating to Madeley (now part of Telford). This book contains transcripts of the original Latin and their translations.
The Preen Family History Study Group exists to research the history of the Preen Family. They also publish books such as this one and meet every year in a place where some part of the Preen family lived in earlier centuries. This year they chose to meet in Hartpury village hall and to spotlight the Preens of Maisemore (F22). A recent DNA study has shown that the Preen family is divided into three main groups. The one we call the "Kings Stanley Group" has as its common ancestors John Preen and his wife Ursula who lived in Kings Stanley in the second half of the seventeenth century. Their descendants remained in the area and many of them worked in the wollen mills.
The Preen Family History Study Group exists to promote research into the history of this family. It does this by organising annual reunions, publishing books and circulating a newsletter. In 2013, the reunion was held in Coalport Village Hall close to Preens Eddy. This book discusses the origin of the name Preens Eddy and the Preens associated with it as well as the other sights in the vicinity. At our reunion, we visited places associated with this family and heard about their life and times. This booklet remembers them.
The DNA study has shown that the Preen family is divided into three main groups. The one we call the "Cardington Group" has as its common ancestors Philip Preen and his wife Mary who lived in Hope Bowdler in the second half of the seventeenth century. Some of their descendants moved to Cardington in the late eighteenth century and their story has been told in "The Preens of Cardington Part One". This traces them to James and Priscilla Preen who died in 1911 and discusses some of their children. Three of the children who remained in Cardington are described in this book. They are Elizabeth (1854-1923), Edwin (1859-1936) and Albert (1871-1955) and their families. In 2011, The Preen Family Reunion was again held in Cardington and this booklet remembers them.
The Preen Family History Study Group exists to promote research into the history of this family. It does this by organising annual reunions, publishing books and circulating a newsletter.

At our reunion, we visited places associated with this family and heard about their life and times. This booklet remembers them.
The Preen Family History Study Group exists to promote research into the history of this family. It does this by organising annual reunions, publishing books and circulating a newsletter. In 2012, the reunion was held in Leebotwood, a small Shropshire village on the main road between Shrewsbury and Church Stretton, which had been home to one family of Preens. Richard Preen and his wife Sarah moved into Leebotwood around 1845 and the family remained there for the next hundred years. At our reunion, we visited places associated with this family and heard about their life and times. This booklet remembers them.
