Myddle—also formerly known as Mydle, Middle, Midle, M'dle, Meadley and Medle—is a small village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Myddle, Broughton and Harmer Hill, in the Shropshire Council district, in the ceremonial county of Shropshire, England, about 10 miles north of Shrewsbury, the county town of Shropshire. In 1961 the parish had a population of 745.[1]
In a book written about Myddle in 1700, the author, Richard Gough, describes the parish community and its doings, and his work has been used as a study of human relations. The book has been called "the greatest insight" into the "middle sort" of people in Early Modern England.[2]
