"Shrewton is a village and civil parish on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, England, located around 6 miles (9.7 km) west of Amesbury and 14 miles (23 km) north of Salisbury. It lies on the A360 road between Stonehenge and Tilshead. It is close to the source of the River Till, which flows south to Stapleford.
The name is derived from the Old English scir-refa tun, meaning 'sheriff's farm or settlement'."
