West Felton is a village and civil parish near Oswestry in Shropshire, England.
[2] The village originally grew around a Norman castle, whose motte lies next to the church.
[3] The name Felton probably represents a combination of Old English feld, "open land", and tun, "settlement".
[3] The old ecclesiastical parish of West Felton contained the townships of West Felton, Sutton, Rednal, Haughton, Tedsmore (the latter five originally part of the eleven townships forming the medieaval manor of neighbouring Ruyton-XI-Towns), Woolston (now in Oswestry Rural), Sandford and Twyford.
The parish church, which has a 12th-century nave,[4] is dedicated to St Michael, and has a chapel of ease at Haughton.
