It is in the same ecclesiastical and civil divisions as Fownhope. (For population and other statistics see Fownhope.) The chapel of ease is a small stone structure, with a nave, chancel, and one bell. The living is a chapelry annexed to Fownhope vicarage; patrons, the Dean and Chapter of Hereford; vicar, Rev. Thomas West, M.A., of St. Edmund Hall, Oxford. The children from Fawley attend the new school at Brockhampton. Fawley Court, the residence of Mr. William Alfred Bellamy, an extensive farmer, is a building in the Elizabethan style of architecture, exhibiting traces of great antiquity. It was anciently the property of Sir John Kyrle, an ancestor of the "Man of Ross". It now belongs to Lieut.- Colonel John Ernle Money-Kyrle, of Homme house, Much Marcle, near Dymock.
