... Gulelmum Paddock
de p(ar)oc(hi)a de West ffelton in Com(itatu) Salopiæ Agricolam et
Georgium Clark de p(ar)oc(hi)a S(anc)ti Ceddæ Hospitem

... William Paddock of the parish of West Felton in the county of Shropshire, farmer, and George Clark of the parish of St Chad’s, sojourner

Hospitem = guest, visitor, sojourner, someone from outside the parish who was visiting or passing through.
St Chad’s - probably the one in Shrewsbury?
