This is a good start for Whitchurch but needs a lot more information for our interesting town. Please do not put commercial adverts or links to commercial sites on our site--Lionmeadow 22:15, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Whitchurch also refers to Whit Sunday which is Pentecost Sunday and may be the earlier meaning than a subsequent specific church meeting place color, though I do not doubt the latter is also the case. Many calendars refer to Whit Sunday or Whit Church for Pentecost even today. Pentecost of course being the beginning of the church in Acts 2 of the New Testament. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.142.55.134 (talk) 13:36, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm new to Wikipedia but I will edit some stuff for my hometown. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Whitchurch (talk • contribs) 13:38, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

it says the whitchurch is the oldest continually settled town in shropshire, this is untrue, oswestry has been permantly settled from prehistory!

Someone who actually knows the town needs to do some editing for clarity. I doubt very much that a famous composer was born in a pub, and I especially doubt that he was particularly born there (as if head and shoulders appeared somewhere up the street). ;)
