What parts of Shropshire to what parts of Warwickshire? If you want to know in miles then I usually use the online aa route planner you can type place names into the route

Hi Vickie I read a thread today where someone was asking about a program that tells you how far it was between parishes. I think it was called Parloc. Perhaps if you Google you might find it Jeanette x

Hello, Genuki has pages giving maps of the UK and Wales which you might find useful. Shropshire is somtimes called Salop. You will see that the places you refer to are not far apart. We are only a small country. Hilary.
