Shropshire village, 6 mile NE of Bridgnorth.
Pretty, picture-postcard village where Isaac Hawkins Browne (1705-1760), the poet and M.P., lived as did his son of the same name. Badger is one of a number of villages in the district which P. G. Wodehouse (1881-1975) knew well from his teenage years and which figure in some of his stories. Badger Dingle, a delightful walk through the grounds of the Hall (demolished some years ago), appears in fictionalised form as Badgwick Dingle.
