English Frankton, formerly known simply as Frankton, is a small village in Shropshire, England. It lies between the villages of Cockshutt and Loppington, in the civil parish of Cockshutt, and south-east of Ellesmere.

The name Frankton probably originated as "Francas's field".[1] It was recorded in Domesday Book as Franchetone, when it was held by Rainald the Sheriff from Earl Roger.[2] Domesday also noted that the manor contained one carruca, along with three villeins and two bordarii.
