Shuttington is a village and civil parish in North Warwickshire, England, situated north-east of Tamworth, Staffordshire.〔OS Explorer Map 232 : Nuneaton & Tamworth: (1:25 000) :ISBN 0 319 46404 0〕 In the 2001 census, the parish, which also includes Alvecote, had a population of 563. The River Anker flows through the parish, with Shuttington north-east of the river, and Alvecote south of it. The West Coast Main Line passes through Alvecote, with the Coventry Canal parallel to it and a marina south of the canal. Most of the parish is rural, including the village of Shuttington, although there was colliery alongside the railway at Alvecote. A series of pools situated along the river, on the boundary with Tamworth, were created as a result of subsidence caused by mining in the area. The pools, which attract a wide variety of bird species, have been designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest. The parish church of St. Matthew, situated on the edge of Shuttington village, is a small building, with a nave dating from the 12th century. The Wolferstan Arms pub is on Main Road in the village. There is also the Samuel Barlow pub, situated on the canal at Alvecote. ==Local government== Shuttington is in the district of North Warwickshire, and is part of the Newton Regis and Warton ward. The ward, which also contains Alvecote, Austrey, Newton Regis, No Man's Heath, Seckington and Warton, has a population of 3,625 and is represented by two councillors.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Councillors by Ward: Newton Regis and Warton )〕 Shuttington had formerly been in Tamworth Rural District, which was created in 1894, until the district was abolished in 1965. The parish was transferred to Atherstone Rural District, which became part of North Warwickshire in the 1974 reorganisation of local government. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shuttington」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
