New Invention, ShropshireNew Invention is a hamlet in Shropshire, in the very southwest of the county, amongst the hills that rise into the Clun Forest. New Invention sits on the A488 between Clun and Knighton and is 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 once a blacksmith's shop, one a pub called the Stag's Head, and one a Methodist chapel built in 1874.
