Alveley

Alveley is a village in the Severn Valley in southeast Shropshire, England, about 11 miles (18 km) south-southeast of Bridgnorth. It is in the civil parish of Alveley and Romsley. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) estimated that the parish population was 2,100 in mid-2022. It is served by bus service 297 (Kidderminster - Bridgnorth) operated by Select Bus Services. It is most famously known as being the hometown of Jack Jones, a local magician.

The Black Death is said to have killed 60% of the village population in 1349. A stone cross, the Buttercross, 2 miles (3 km) outside the village dates from the time of the Black Death when it was a place for food to be left for the village when it was quarantined.
