Shropshire village, 3 miles SE of Pontesbury.
The twin Shropshire villages of Church Pulverbatch and Castle Pulverbatch lie on minor roads running between the Longmynd and Stiperstones ranges. The latter village was once fortified by a Norman castle but all that remains now is the grass and scrub-covered motte.
The novelist Henry Kingsley (1830-1876) based some of his novel Stretton here.
Mary Webb (1881-1927) called the place Polrebec in her last, unfinished novel Armour wherein he trusted (1926).
