In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Loppington like this:
LOPPINGTON, a village and a parish in Wem district, Salop. The village stands 3 miles W by N of Wem r. station, and has a post office under Wem. The parish contains the townships of Nonely and Burlton; the latter of which has a post office under Shrewsbury. Acres, 3,414. Real property, £6,192. ...
Pop., 575. Houses, 118. The property is much subdivided. The manor belongs to the Duke of Cleveland. Loppington House is a chief residence. The living is a vicarage in the diocese of Lichfield. Value, £215.* Patron, the Lord Chancellor. The church is ancient, in tolerable condition; and contains some brasses; and was the scene of a conflict between the royalists and parliamentarians, when part of its N wall was demolished. There are a mixed national school and some charities.
