- There are certainly no de Vere's occurring in wikipedia's list of High Sheriff of Shropshire in the 1500s, and I am altogether sceptical that the following uncited statement in this article is genuine or merely made up to account for the village's present name: The Hope Vere's trace their ancestry to Roger De Vere who was Lord of the Manor of Hales and when he became Sheriff of Shropshire in the 16th century he changed the name of his Manor from that of Hales to Sheriffhales to reflect his importance in being appointed to this additional role.Cloptonson (talk) 18:34, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
Meaning of `Anglican'
[edit]The explanation of the word `halh' is that it is Anglican. But Anglican means `descriptive of, or concerning the Church of England'. Clarification is needed. Barney Bruchstein (talk) 19:58, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
