Welcome to the ‘new look’ village website of Shrewton! Re-launched in April 2012, this site will bring you information on local events, local organisations, the Parish Council, places to eat and drink, shops, accommodation, places of interest, the history and other information useful to both the residents and visitors to Shrewton.

Your help is sought to expand and improve the site over the coming months and a more formal publicised launch is planned for later in the year. Blue Dog IT have kindly taken over the stewardship to the  website to ensure its smooth running.

Use the buttons at the top of the page to find your way around. Please use the “Contact us” page if you’d like to see your organisation mentioned, have interesting news, ideas on new information to add or to comment on any of the existing content.
Use that page as well if your organisation wishes to apply for a grant from the Parish Council or you wish contact the Council on any matter relevant to the local community.

Shrewton has a long history and Stonehenge, a World Heritage site since 1978, is just four miles to the east and brings many visitors to Shrewton.
Much of Salisbury plain is also now part of the Defense Training Estates and used for military training.
Shrewton also has an old round “Blind House” used to house prisoners overnight when being moved – pictured at the top of the page. Other places to see include St. Mary’s Church and the birth place of Cecil Chubb who donated Stonehenge to the government in 1918.

The village of Shrewton has a population of approximately 1,700 and is situated in the Till valley on Salisbury Plain, twelve miles north of Salisbury in the county of Wiltshire.
Shrewton lies on the old coach road from London to the West Country between Amesbury and Warminster.
The Parish of Shrewton was formed with the joining of four settlements – Shrewton, Maddington, Rollestone and Homanton.

We hope you find the site of interest – and if you are just visiting, well worth the time.
