Shevington history
Toponymy
Shevington, a farmstead near a hill called shevin, derives from the Celtic cevn meaning a ridge. It is a hill slope settlement in the Douglas Valley recorded in documents in 1225 as Shefington. Other recorded spellings include Scheuynton in 1253 and Sheuington in 1277.
Shevington became a manor, an estate system of local government held of the king by a lord of the manor from the 12th to the 18th centuries. The area was included within the ecclesiastical parish of Standish until 1887 when it was granted separate status with the consecration of St Anne’s Church. In Tudor times only a handful of families existed, possibly as few as 30, the population reached 335 by 1764.
