Shifnal War Graves
Following a churchyard clearance, many of the war graves in St. Andrew’s Churchyard were left without a grave marker. As a consequence the Commonwealth War Grave Commission erected a memorial stone in the churchyard, remembering the 17 men with war grave status.
Seven graves can still be found in the churchyard. (Marked Blue)
