A closer look at The Old Vicarage, once known as Keeble, is dated 1704 with late 18th and early 19th century additions and a remodelling dated 1877. Traces of a Romano-British cemetery were discovered during the remodelling. The original range is in flint and limestone, the rest in brick and flint.

The name Shrewton comes from the Old English word for sheriff’s farm or settlement. The village lies on the east to west road from London to Bridgwater via Amesbury and Warminster. The River Till which rises near Tilshead flows through the village on its way to join the River Wylye near Stapleford.
