Although Barrow itself consists of a church and just a few dwellings, the parish extends from Broseley to the eastern edge of Much Wenlock; it also includes the hamlets of Willey and Benthall, and the lost settlement of Caughley. According to the 2001 census the parish had a population of 636,[1] increasing at the 2011 Census to 680.[2]
Barrow is a short distance south of the site of a lost mediaeval village, Arlescott. The Jack Mytton Way runs through both Arlescott and Barrow.
