Leebotwood
Leebotwood (/liːbɒtwʊd/ lee-BOT-wood) is a small village and civil parish in Shropshire, England. It is about 9 miles (14 km) south of Shrewsbury and 3.5 miles (5.6 km) north of Church Stretton.
The village is located on the A49 road, north of Church Stretton and south of the village of Dorrington. Nearby villages include Longnor (approximately 1½ miles to the north) and All Stretton which is 2 miles distant, between Leebotwood and Church Stretton.
Leebotwood is the only recognisable settlement in the parish.
The Cound Brook passes through the village, flowing north towards Longnor.
The parish was part of the borough of Shrewsbury and Atcham, which existed 1973–2009. It is now part of the Parliamentary constituency of South Shropshire and in the area of Shropshire's unitary Council in Burnell ward.
The Welsh Marches railway line runs through the parish. Leebotwood once had its own small railway station that closed in 1958.
Today, the nearest station is Church Stretton. Northbound trains run to Shrewsbury and most continue to destinations such as Manchester Piccadilly and Holyhead. Southbound trains run mostly to Cardiff and beyond via the Welsh Marches Line.
Leebotwood's parish church (St Mary's) dates from the 12th century and is a plain and simple building in comparison to its many neighbouring churches, including Church Stretton's St Laurence's Church. It is the burial place of the Corbett family of Longnor Hall, the local lords of the manor.
