Withington is a village and parish in Shropshire, England. The parish is very small (both in area covered and population – 220 people) and is located on the Shropshire Council/Telford and Wrekin Council boundary. ==Saint John the Baptist Church== The church in the village today was completely rebuilt in 1874 by G. E. Street, on the site of a much older building. It is built of sandstone with a tiled roof and low stone tower with spire to the west. This tower houses two bells from the 13th and 14th centuries in a frame circa 1800. Remnants of the furnishings of the earlier church have also survived – the stone reredos depicting the crucifixion, the stone font, stone pulpit, chancel wall and the eagle lectern. Withington Church is renowned for its 16th-century brasses, the oldest has effigies to John Onley, his wife and seven children (1515) The other brass is of Adam Grafton(1530). He was a former vicar of Withington (among many parishes!) and one time chaplain to Edward V and Prince Arthur.
