Concernant le toponyme » Hinstock, Shropshire, England, La Grande-Bretagne

Hinstock is a village and civil parish in Shropshire, England. It appeared in the Domesday book survey as "Stoche" (from Old English stoc, "dependent settlement"); the present version of its name was created in the mediaeval period by prefixing Middle English hine ("domestic servants"). Hinstock is approximately halfway between the market towns of Newport and Market Drayton. The A41 road, which until the 1980s ran through its centre, now bypasses the village. Hinstock is at the junction of the A529 road joining to Nantwich to the A41. A Roman road still exists in part as a road and as a footpath through Hinstock. The settlement of High Heath is to the north of the village alongside the A41 and to the west of Hinstock and forming part of the civil parish is the hamlet of Pixley. Hinstock's facilities include a primary school; a village shop and post office; St Oswald's Church; a pub named the Falcon Inn; a village hall; a Methodist hall; two tennis courts; a football pitch; a five a side court; a cricket pitch; a small snooker hall and a running club. Near the village is a very small nature reserve, Quarry Wood, which is managed by the Shropshire Wildlife Trust. And there is a local pub there called The Falcon Inn. Also there is a local school called Hinstock School.
