CLICK FOR 2021 CENSUS DATAIntroduction
Edgmond is a village in the borough of Telford and Wrekin and ceremonial county of Shropshire, England. The village population at the 2011 Census was 2,062. It lies 1 mile (1.6 kilometres) north-west of the town of Newport. The village has two pubs (the Lion and the Lamb), a Methodist chapel and hall (neither of which are in use), a village hall, and a village shop with a co-located post office. There is a recreation field called simply "The Playing Fields", where there are Sunday cricket games, pub football matches, and a playground for young children. The village also has many areas for walking and biking including an area called the Rock Hole, an old sandstone quarry from which the rock used to build the local church was taken. Also popular is the canal walk, which leads down to the local town of Newport along the old canals. The canals are now often used for fishing competitions. There has been much speculation about the possibility of reopening the old Shrewsbury and Newport Canal route.There is a Church of England parish church in Edgmond, dedicated to St.Peter. It is in the Archdeaconry of Salop and Diocese of Lichfield. The parish war memorial, on a roadside, erected to commemorate war dead of World War I, consists of a sandstone pillar surmounted by a crucifix with figures of a soldier and a nurse looking up at the figure of Christ.
