Sheinton is a small rural village and civil parish in Shropshire, England. It is situated on the south bank of the River Severn opposite the Wrekin, a notable Shropshire landmark.
The name comes from the Saxon shena - tun, meaning "beautiful place".
On 23 October 2008 its historic bridge collapsed into the Hughley Brook.[1]
Benjamin Bailey, missionary to Kerala, India, and an important figure in the history of the Malayalam language, was rector of Sheinton from his retirement in 1850 to his death in 1871.
