Harmer Hill is a village in Shropshire, England located on the A528 south of Wem and north of Shrewsbury.
The name Harmer comes from the two words "hare" and "mere", as there was a lake situated in a plain below the hill, but it was drained in the 15th century for farm land. The village was home to two pubs, the Bridgewater Arms and the Red Castle; the Red Castle closed in 2018. There is a village hall and Presbyterian chapel with its own burial ground. Harmer Hill is said to be haunted,[citation needed] notably by a "White Lady".
Queen Mary's brother, the Marquess of Cambridge, lived at nearby Shotton Hall from after World War I until his death in 1927.[1] Helen Morgan, Liberal Democrat MP, lives in Harmer Hill, which is in her North Shropshire constituency.[2]
