Shelderton is a hamlet in south Shropshire, England. It is located just southeast of the village of Clungunford and is part of that village's civil parish.[1]
It was a medieval township[2] and belonged to Munslow hundred.[3]
The border with Herefordshire is nearby to the south. The small hamlet of Little Common is near to Shelderton, on the B4367 road, and is connected with Shelderton by a footpath (grid reference SO398776). Also on the B4367, near to where the Leintwardine lane from Shelderton meets the B4367, is a Grade II Listed house called The Lynches (grid reference SO396769).[1][4]
The nearest market towns are Craven Arms and Ludlow.
A Roman road runs through Shelderton, on its way between the Roman fort and settlement at Leintwardine and the city at Wroxeter.
There is a Royal Mail post box in the hamlet.[5]
