Shifnal
Shifnal is a market town and civil parish in Shropshire, England, about east of Telford, 17 miles (27 km) east of the county town of Shrewsbury and 13 miles (20 km) west-northwest of the city of Wolverhampton. It is near the M54 motorway (Junction 4). At the 2001 census, it had a population of 6,391, increasing to 6,776 at the 2011 census. History Early medieval time The town, also once known as "Idsall" (relating to potential Roman links), most probably began as an Anglian settlement, established by the end of the 7th century.

Sir Frank Stenton considered that "Scuffanhalch", along with "Costesford" ( Cosford) and "Stretford", formed part of a list of places which had once been c ...
