Sutton upon Tern is a small, rural parish in north Shropshire, set in the mellow valley of the River Tern a few miles from Market Drayton. The area is typical Shropshire countryside: rolling farmland, hedgerows and wet meadows that support a fair amount of birdlife and give the place a peaceful, pastoral feel.
Historically agricultural, the parish is made up of scattered farms, a modest village core and some older, often listed buildings that hint at its long rural heritage. Today the local economy still leans on farming, with a number of residents commuting to nearby towns, and community life is quietly kept alive by parish activities and volunteer groups rather than any major industry.
