Amended by P. Watkins (HES), 6 November 2020.
Shotford did not have a church but in medieval period was counted as part of 'Mendham in Norfolk' and served by a chapel in Mendham churchyard, Suffolk. [Mendham was a single parish split between Norfolk and Suffolk. The Norfolk land was moved to the parish of Redenhall in 1885, the Suffolk part retains the name 'Mendham'].
E. Rose (NLA), 1 August 1991.
Shotford Hall and a barn to the north are both listed Grade II and are now recorded separately (as NHER 64508 and NHER 64509 respectively).

It should be noted that the mapped extent of this record represents only a very rough approximation of the possible size and location of this settlement.
