BORDESLEY, a chapelry in the parish of ASTON, Birmingham division of the hundred of HEMLINGFORD, county of WARWICK. The population is returned with the parish. The living is a perpetual curacy, in the archdeaconry of Coventry, and the diocese of Lichfield and Coventry, and in the patronmage of the Vicar of Aston. The chapel, dedicated to the Holy Trinity, is in the later style of English architecture; it was built in 1820, at an expense of £12,722.15.6., which was raised by subscription among the inhabitants, aided by a grant from the parliamentary commissioners. This was formerly a small hamlet, consisting only of detached houses, but from its proximity to Birmingham, it has become an integral part of that town, and participates largely in its trade, manufactures and institutions. An hospital for about twelve poor persons, an apartment in which is used for a chapel, has been buit by Mr Dowell, who appoints the inmates, but no permanent provision for their support has yet been made.
