Wrockwardine Wood (pronounced "Rock-war-dine"^{[citation needed]}) is a village in the Telford and Wrekin borough in Shropshire, England and is bordered by Donnington, St Georges, Trench, The Nabb and Oakengates. The local government parish of Wrockwardine Wood and Trench comprises most of the Church of England parish of Wrockwardine Wood. In the eighteenth century industrial revolution Wrockwardine Wood was inhabited by coal and iron mine workers and their families.^{[citation needed]} So many people had become Primitive Methodists that the Church of England set up a new parish in 1833 and built a very attractive red brick church (Holy Trinity), which is grade II listed.^[2]

Wrockwardine Wood & Trench Parish Council has a Labour Party majority.^{[citation needed]}
