Shirwell is a tiny scattered parish situated some 4 miles North of Barnstaple on the A39 towards Lynton.
The village is divided into distinct areas, the cluster of houses around the church - the main part of the old village - being called Shirwell 'Town'. The name of this historic village, mentioned in the Domesday Book, means 'clear water' and even today the area abounds in natural springs which bubble out of the ground.
There is a parish church, a Methodist chapel built in 1902 on ground given by Admiral Sir Edward Chichester, a historic house of some note, an old village school and a pre-school.
