     Acton Burnell is a neat, precisely tailored village half-way between the Stretton hills and Shrewsbury,  It could be taken as estate village because both its timber frame and stone cottages have been covered with stucco, and uniform hood porches have been added to give a rustice effect.Betwen the village and the park, a highwalled farm comples with a square corner tower bears a distinct resemblance to the 13th century castle, which still stands here.
     Roger Fitzcorbet was a under-tenant for Earl Roger.  He belonged to the family that built Caus Castle to guard the valley which runs south-east from Shrewsbury under Long Mountain, namingif after Caux in Normandy, from which they came.  The Burmells acquired the mannor of Action fromthe Corbets-it reverted temporarily after a Burnell commited murder-and Roger Burnell, made it famous.  Bornin the village, he was athrusting cleric out to found denasty.
     The Castle of Caus still stands till this day, per article in the book-along with above information "Te Dpmesday Book", Copyrighted 1985, and first published in 1977.  See page 224 on Acton Burnell and on FiztCorbet.
