Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GUI-HAN
HALESOWEN , a market town in the Oldbury parliamentary division of Worcestershire, England, on a branch line of the
Great
  Western and Midland railways, 62 m. W.S.W. of
Birmingham
 . Pop. (Igo I), 4057. It lies in a pleasant country among the eastern foothills of the Lickey Hills. There are extensive
iron
  and steel manufactures. The
church
  of SS
Mary
  and John the Baptist has rude Norman portions; and the poet William Shenstone, buried in 1763 in the churchyard, has a memorial in the
church
 . His delight in landscape gardening is exemplified in the neighbouring estate of the Leasowes, which was his property. There is a grammar school founded in 1652, and in the neighbourhood is the Methodist
foundation
  of Bourne College (1883). Close to the town, on the river Stour, which rises in the vicinity, are slight ruins of a Premonstratensian abbey of Early
English
  date. Within the parish and 2 m. N.W. of Halesowen is Cradley, with
iron
  and steel works, fire-clay works and a large nail and
chain
  industry.
