== History == right|thumb|Old barn, made of typical Shustoke red sandstone. Shustoke is an ancient village and it existed before the Domesday Book. In 1086 Shustoke was recorded as 'Scotescote' meaning Scots Cottage, as cote means cottage, dwelling or house. The parish church of St Cuthbert's was erected in 1307 on the site of an earlier church or chapel. Some remains of a Celtic-type churchyard cross and reused Norman masonry can be seen. The parish registers are some of the earliest in the country and date from the reign of Henry VIII. Some are in the handwriting of the scholar and antiquary Sir William Dugdale. Dugdale was born in the building now known as 'The Old Rectory' in Shawbury Lane on 12 September 1605, and is widely regarded as the county's first and greatest antiquarian.
