Villages in the Foreign of Walsall Bloxwich formed a chapelry to Walsall parish and details of the village can be found on the Bloxwich page. Bescot, the most southerly hamlet of the Foreign of Walsall, is about two miles S by W of Walsall, and is mentioned in the Domesday Book as the property of the king, and it afterwards passed to the Hillary, Montford, and other families. The site of the ancient mansion, called the Moat Garden, is still encompassed by a moat, over which is a bridge built by one of the Slaney family. Birch-hills, Doveridge, Caldmore, Fullbrooke, New-mills, Park-brook, Park-hill, Pleck, Whitehall, Woodmill and Wood end, are neighbouring hamlets and suburbs near Walsall. At Wood end are several neat villas, one of which, Gorway House, is occupied by Peter Potter, Esq, land agent to the Earl of Bradford. At Caldmore is an old Elizabethan house, formerly a seat of the Hillary family. At Birch-hills are large collieries and iron works. Blaken Heath, half a mile E; Little Bloxwich, half a mile NE; Broadstone, one mile S; Coal-pool, one and a half miles E; Goscote, one mile E; Harden, one mile E by S; Sots-hole, & Wallington Heath, three quarters of a mile N by W of Bloxwich, are all hamlets in this township, as also are Hayhead, two and a half miles E of Walsall, and Shelfield and Walsall Wood, three and a half miles NE of Walsall. The two latter are separated from the rest of the parish by the intervention of Rushall, and now form the ecclesiastical district of Walsall Wood."
