Shrewton is a village and civil parish on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, England, located around west of Amesbury and north of Salisbury. It lies on the A360 road between Stonehenge and Tilshead. It is close to the source of the River Till, which flows south to Stapleford. The name is derived from the Old English ''scīr-rēfa tūn'', meaning 'sheriff's farm or settlement'. Addeston was a village of medieval origin, which now forms an integral part of the modern village of Shrewton. The place name survives in Addestone Farm (), Addestone Manor () and Addestone Farm Cottage ().〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.pastscape.org.uk/maps.aspx?a=0&hob_id=866994 )〕 ==Governance== In 1934 the civil parish of Shrewton was enlarged by the addition of the parishes of Maddington (to the north) and Rollestone (south and east). The parish elects a parish council. It is in the area of Wiltshire Council unitary authority, which is responsible for all significant local government functions. The parish is in 'Till and Wylye Valley' electoral ward. This ward starts in the south at South Newton, passes through Shrewton and ends in the north at Tilshead. The total ward population taken at the 2011 census was 4,473.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Till and Wylye Valley ward 2011 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shrewton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
