Wikipedia 2020:

Child's Ercall is a village and civil parish in Shropshire, England. It is located in a rather remote rural area between the small towns of Market Drayton and Newport: the civil parish had a total population of 599 at the 2001 census,[1] rising to 732 at the 2011 Census. The closest neighbouring village is Ollerton, around 1 mile to the west.

The second part of its name, recorded in the forms "Archelou" and "Erkalwe" in the 13th century, has been suggested as derived from a Celtic word, perhaps an old Welsh name Ercal. An Old English root based on the name of a hill, ear "gravel" plus the adjective calu(w) "bare", has also been proposed. The affix "child" may come from its mediaeval sense, meaning "knight". A possible etymology suggested by the toponymist Margaret Gelling, is that Child's Ercall was named as it belonged to a younger member of the Strange family, who owned much of the area in the mediaeval period.

The village church has a 12th-century doorway, a 13th-century arcade and 14th-century aisle, as well as stained glass by Charles Eamer Kempe.

Child's Ercall Football Club is a member of the Mercian Regional League (that covers most of Shropshire) and they play their home games in the village at Jubilee Hall.
