LULSLEY, a chapelry, in the parish of Suckley, union of Martley, Upper division of the hundred of Doddingtree, Worcester and W. divisions of the county of Worcester, 7½ miles (W.) from Worcester; containing 120 inhabitants. It is bounded on the northeast by the river Teme, and comprises 846 acres of fertile land under good cultivation; the surface is gently undulated, and the scenery of pleasing character. The inhabitants are chiefly employed in agricultural pursuits, and many of the females in the making of gloves for the manufacturers in Worcester. The tithes have been commuted for £162. 11., and the glebe comprises 3¼ acres. The chapel, dedicated to St. Giles, is a neat structure with a wood tower; marriages, baptisms, and burials are solemnized in it: the chapel-yard is not consecrated, and consequently interments take place only in the chapel.
