Wheathill is a village and civil parish 21 miles (34 km) south east of Shrewsbury,[1] in the Shropshire district, in the ceremonial county of Shropshire, England.

[3] The parish touches Aston Botterell, Bitterley, Burwarton, Clee St. Margaret, Farlow, Hopton Wafers and Stoke St.

[6] The name Whethill means 'Wheat hill'[7] and was recorded in the Domesday Book as Waltham.

[9] Presumably it was his son or grandson, Sir Richard Whethill, Knt., (1410-1485) who was a rich merchant of the Staple at Calais in the middle of the 15th century.

[10] On 1 April 1967 Loughton and Silvington parishes were merged with Wheathill.
