Bettws-y-Crwyn is a small, remote village and civil parish in south west Shropshire, England. It is close to the Wales-England border and is one of a number of English villages to have a Welsh language placename, which translates roughly as "chapel of the fleeces". The parish name was formerly written simply as Bettws, and the suffix, probably a local name for the church, only appears in written records in the nineteenth century. The parish, including the hamlets of Anchor (which has a pub of the same name), Quabbs and Hall of the Forest had a total population of 212 at the 2001 census, increasing to 239 at the 2011 census.
