'''Weston Lullingfields''' is a village in [[Shropshire]], England.  It is located about 15&nbsp;km north west of [[Shrewsbury]]. The population as taken at the [[2011 United Kingdom census|2011 census]] can be found under [[Baschurch]].

==Etymology==
The village name 'Weston' is a common one in England.  It is [[Old English|Anglo Saxon]] in origin and means 'west farm'.

==Canal==
Weston Lullingfields was a terminus of a branch of the [[Ellesmere Canal]] known as the Weston Branch. The canal was originally intended to continue on to [[Shrewsbury]], but was never completed as intended. At Weston Lullingfields the canal company built a wharf, four lime kilns, a public house, stables, a clerk's house and weighing machine. These were opened in 1797 and closed in 1917 when the Weston branch was closed following a breach of the canal.<ref>{{cite book
