Waters Upton

Waters Upton is a small village and civil parish in Shropshire, England. It is just off the A442 and has a church[1], two pubs (the Lion and The Swan)[2] and a post office with a post box[3].

The civil parish, which had a total population of 873 at the 2001 census,[4] also includes the villages of Great Bolas and Crudgington.

On 12th April, 2010, a dominatrix named Sophie Allen caused outrage by using the seemingly innocent village hall as a sex den[5]. She would charge up to £150 an hour for her services. After this outrage hit local, as well as national newspapers, villagers complained bitterly to their local parish council who set up new regulations regarding who could and who couldn't rent the village hall.
