Bishop's Castle Heritage Resource Centre is a local heritage store and activity centre celebrating local history and keeping it within the community for people to use and enjoy. Bishop's Castle is a small market town situated in a remote, largely agricultural region of South West Shropshire. Due to its geographical remoteness, local heritage in Bishop's Castle has enjoyed a degree of protection from outside influences. The town has retained much of its historic character, and a strong sense of heritage has given rise to numerous active local history organisations.

-==Civil Registration Offices==
-The [https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/ '''General Register Office'''] holds a central copy of all birth, marriage, and death registrations in England. These certificates can be ordered from their [https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/ '''website'''] (a login is required but it is free to register and search). However, in some cases research can be more efficient working with the smaller, more specific records collections of county/district registry offices.

-Sometimes research might be required to determine where a town or parish was in a former registration district, or even its current district.  For a list of the '''historic and current registration districts and their parishes''', see [https://www.ukbmd.org.uk/reg/SAL.html UKBMD: Registration Districts in Shropshire].
