Myddle is confirmed as a Domesday settlement recorded in 1086, placed within the hundred of Baschurch in Shropshire, with 11 recorded households - a relatively small community.

Richard Gough's seventeenth-century account of Myddle parish records the burial practices and social networks of local landowners, including the Kinaston family of Hordley and disputes over parish boundaries. The passage reveals the parish structure, church life, and the prominence of notable families in defining Myddle's territorial and administrative identity during the early modern period.

This gazetteer entry (drawn from Kelly's/Bartholomew's county directories) establishes that Myddle (also written "Middle") was a parish church of **St. Peter**, built in the Decorated Gothic style (broadly 14th century in origin), situated within the **rural deanery of Wem**, the **archdeaconry of Salop**, and the **diocese of Lichfield** - the ecclesiastical framework inherited from the medieval period. The parish was notably large, encompassing multiple townships including the chapelry of Hadnall (not separated until 1856), indicating a medieval mother-church arrangement typical of early English parish formation. The brass memorial to Arthur Chambre of Petton, as patron, points to medieval lay patronage of the living, a relationship that would appear in records such as the Valor Ecclesiasticus (1535) and bishops' registers.

This passage from the Victoria County History of Shropshire locates Myddle within the agricultural landscape of north Shropshire, specifically noting Webscott farm near Myddle as a site of agricultural diversification in the late 20th century. While this particular extract covers the modern agricultural period rather than the medieval manorial descent, the VCH volume as a whole documents the parish and its surrounding area in detail. The manorial history of Myddle, separately attested in primary sources, shows it was held from 1086 by Rainald the Sheriff under Earl Roger, passing by c.1165 to the Le Strange family who held the lordship for over 400 years - including obtaining a royal licence in 1308 to fortify their house at Myddle as a castle.

This passage reveals that Myddle Castle was built under a royal licence of 1308 granted to John Le Strange, and that the manor subsequently passed through the great families of Strange, Stanley, and Egerton (Earls of Bridgewater), tracing its ownership across over four centuries. It also shows that Myddle parish church retained remarkable antiquarian interest into the Victorian period, possessing three rare chained books dating from 1522 to 1574, which the 1875 editors carefully catalogued. Together these details illustrate Myddle's deep feudal and ecclesiastical history, rooted in the Pimhill Hundred of north Shropshire.

Richard Gough's manuscript (1700-c. 1702), preserved in a 1786 copy, is a foundational parish history of Myddle that documents family genealogies, the social order of the parish as reflected in church seating arrangements, and includes architectural sketches and maps of the parish church dating to the early 19th century. The work captures the Georgian-era structure of the parish and provides detailed information about manorial families, tenants, and settlement patterns in Myddle during the late 17th and early 18th centuries.

This is a recent geophysical survey conducted within the Myddle, Broughton and Harmer Hill civil parish area, specifically at Webscott. The magnetometry survey was undertaken to assess archaeological potential ahead of a proposed solar array development. The survey detected some magnetic anomalies but could not definitively determine whether these represented archaeological cut features or natural geological variations in glacial deposits.
