Wrockwardine Wood (pronounced "Rock-war-dine"[citation needed]) was originally a detached piece of woodland, then a township, formerly belonging to the manor and parish of Wrockwardine. Wrockwardine is located approximately 7 miles west from Wrockwardine Wood.
Wrockwardine Wood is located in north east Telford, in Telford and Wrekin in Shropshire, England and is bordered by Donnington, St Georges, Trench, The Nabb and Oakengates. The local government parish of Wrockwardine Wood and Trench comprises most of the Church of England parish of Wrockwardine Wood. In the eighteenth century industrial revolution Wrockwardine Wood was inhabited by coal and iron mine workers and their families.[citation needed] So many people had become Primitive Methodists that the Church of England set up a new parish in 1833 and built a very attractive red brick church (Holy Trinity).[citation needed] The 2 Methodist chapels recently[when?] closed, being replaced by Oakengates United Church (Methodist and United Reformed Church.)[citation needed]
Wrockwardine Wood & Trench Parish Council has a Labour Party majority.[citation needed]
