Whitchurch, Shropshire

Whitchurch is a market town in Shropshire, England, east of the Welsh border. Located on the North Shropshire Plain in the Welsh Marches and close to the Cheshire border, it is the oldest continuously inhabited town in Shropshire. The town is north of the county town of Shrewsbury, south of Chester, and east of Wrexham.
According to the 2001 Census, the population of the town is 8,673, increasing to 9,781 at the 2011 census.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Town population 2011 )〕 The town is located in the ''Whitchurch Urban'' civil parish, and is twinned with the French town of Neufchâtel-en-Bray.
==History==

Originally a settlement founded by the Romans around AD 52 or 70, it was called Mediolanum ( "Midfield" or "Middle of the Plain"). The settlement was located on a major Roman road between Chester and Wroxeter and Roman artefacts can be seen at the Whitchurch Heritage Centre. It was listed on the Antonine Itinerary but is not the Mediolanum of Ptolemy's ''Geography'', which was in central Wales.
Whitchurch was in the hundred of Hodnet in 1086.〔(Open Domesday: Hodnet )〕 The current name is from the Middle English for "White Church", in reference to a church constructed from white stone during the Norman period. During the reign of Henry I in the 12th century, Whitchurch was within the North Division of Bradford Hundred which by the 1820s was referred to as North Bradford Hundred.〔(Vision of Britain: Whitchurch (Shropshire) )〕 These days the town's most prominent place of worship is St Alkmund's Anglican parish church. It was built in 1712 of red sandstone and stands on the site of the earlier Norman church. It is protected as a Grade I listed building.
