New Invention is a hamlet in Shropshire, England on the A488 between Clun and Knighton.[1] It comprises little more than four houses around a cross-roads and a neighbouring farm called The Weir, known in history as the Wear or Ware. Of the four houses, one was a blacksmith's shop, one a pub called the Stag's Head, and one a Methodist chapel built in 1874. It served as one of many local locations for the film Gone to Earth (released 1950), directed by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger.[2] The River Redlake passes through. The population as of the 2011 census is listed under Clun.
