Baschurch is a large village and civil parish in Shropshire, England, sitting about eight miles north of Shrewsbury on the A49. It occupies rolling agricultural countryside with the River Perry running close by, and the settlement shows medieval roots and a number of attractive older buildings centred around its parish church.
Today the parish combines a steady agricultural economy with small local businesses and a commuter population who work in nearby towns; community life revolves around the village hall, local pubs and school, and the area is popular for walking, cycling and equestrian activity. It is also remembered locally for being near the scene of a notable railway accident in 1961, which remains part of the village’s modern history.
