The village of Shrewton is located on Salisbury Plain and is made up of several early communities and was, until 1934 three separate parishes. 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.
