Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat will be re-established for the next general election, succeeding the (to be abolished) constituency of Shrewsbury and Atcham.[1]
1918–1950: The Borough of Shrewsbury, and the Rural Districts of Atcham and Chirbury.
1950–1974: The Borough of Shrewsbury, and the Rural District of Atcham.
1974–1983: As prior but with redrawn boundaries.
The re-established constituency will be composed of the following (as they existed on 1 December 2020):
It will comprise the existing constituency of Shrewsbury and Atcham (to be abolished), with the exception of the Burnell and Severn Valley wards which will be transferred to the re-established constituency of South Shropshire.
Shrewsbury was founded in 1290 as parliamentary borough, returning two members to the House of Commons of England until 1707, then of the House of Commons of Great Britain from 1707 to 1800, and of the House of Commons of the United Kingdom from 1801 to 1885.
Famous MPs have included Sir Philip Sidney in 1581, Robert Clive (known as 'Clive of India') from 1761 to his death in 1774, and Benjamin Disraeli (later Prime Minister) in 1841–47.By the mid eighteenth century Shrewsbury was known as an independent constituency. The right of election was vested in resident burgesses paying scot and lot. By 1722 the number of voters exceeded 1300 but Parliament sharply reduced the number by excluding parts of Shrewsbury from the parliamentary borough.[3]
Under the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885, its representation was reduced to one Member of Parliament (MP). The parliamentary borough was abolished with effect from the 1918 general election, and the name transferred to a new county constituency. The constituency was renamed Shrewsbury and Atcham, but continued with the exact same boundaries as had been in effect from 1974-1983.
