It is adjacent to the villages of Lyneal and Colemere which comprise part of the so-called 'North Shropshire Lake District', all of which is within walking distance of Welshampton.

According to an article by the same author, in the August 2008 edition of "Mere News", the original village was known as 'Hampton' and had been in the barony of le Strange from Knockin since the 14th century.

An African prince, Jeremiah Libopuoa Moshueshue, who died in Welshampton in 1863, is buried at St Michael and All Angels' Church.

[8] The village war memorial, within the churchyard, was erected in 1920 and paid for, mainly, by the Reverend Henry Moody, vicar of the parish for 45 years.

In 2010, the war memorial underwent a complete restoration and cleaning, following a campaign to raise funds, spearheaded by Neville Metcalfe, a former resident of the village.

The first Fair took place in 2006, to raise funds for the replacement of the roof of the beautiful listed St Michael and All Angels Church, in Welshampton.

In addition to raising funds, the Fair also promotes Macmillan’s wonderful work in the County – their Shropshire fund-raising manager having an information stall on the day.
