Shropshire Pastoral Region

[edit]

Prior to October 2007, two deaneries - Shrewsbury & West Shropshire and Telford & East Shropshire - existed. In line with diocesan restructuring by Bishop Brian Noble, these were merged to form the Shropshire Pastoral Area.[2]

The deanery comprises the whole of Shropshire.
