Building site and its hoarding, Dorrington
A new housing estate on the south of the village. The estate is named: The Farr's. It is named after William Farr, a British epidemiologist considered one of the founders of medical statistics. Born in Shropshire in 1807, Farr lived in Dorrington where his impoverished family received safe housing by a local Squire, Joseph Pryce. Pryce’s legacy allowed Farr to study medicine in France and Switzerland. Returning to England and following further studies, he started a medical practice in Fitzroy Square, London. There he became involved in medical journalism and along with his contributions to cholera and tuberculosis research made his mark on the world of medical statistics.
