Wotherton is a hamlet in west Shropshire, close to the Welsh border. It is in the civil parish of Chirbury with Brompton. Its name, mentioned as a manor in the Domesday Book means, roughly, "settlement at a woodland ford"; the road through the village crosses a small stream.[1]
The Wotherton Barytes Mine operated here until 1911.
