Oliver Bill's father's residence, 1652

I think Oliver's dad lived in Spittle Street. Am I right?

In the 16th century the glebe in Much Wenlock consisted mainly of houses on the corner of Spittle and Wilmore streets. Spittle Street is now High Street?

I originally thought it looked like Spittlefield, Spittle Street looks more likely?

Much Wenlock Town
The three main streets from the Middle Ages onwards were Spittle (fn. 130) (later High (fn. 131) or Hospital) Street, Barrow (fn. 132) (formerly Southpool) (fn. 133) Street, and Wilmore (fn. 134) (continued northwards as Sheinton) (fn. 135) Street. They formed a T, its junction at an entrance (the 'churchyard stile') (fn. 136) to Holy Trinity churchyard; the main streets seem unrelated to the site of the 11th-century priory. (fn. 137) It is likely that before the Conquest the people of the district were using worship at Holy Trinity as an opportunity for weekly trade; Sunday was market day until 1224. (fn. 138) The building of permanent shops on the approaches to the churchyard set the medieval street pattern and made the beginnings of a town.

You'll have to scroll down a fair bit on https://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/salop/vol10/pp399-447 to Much Wenlock Town to see the above.

I'd say it is Spittle streete.  The Spittle is quite clear.

Some uncertainty comes from the very loose formation of the e's in streete, when compared to elsewhere in the clip.

The e in Oliver is the nearest.

However the s is a typical long-s of the period, and the two t's and the r are consistent with others in the clip.

Thanks, Spittle Streete it is then, and thanks for the link. I will follow this up as as I think is a bit obvious with my current spate of postings, I have quite a lot of people in Much Wenlock, and most of them in the 15 and 1600s.
