Shenton is a village and former civil parish, now part of the parish of Dadlington and Sutton Cheney in the Hinckley and Bosworth district of Leicestershire, England. It lies 2.20 miles (3.54 km) south‑west of Market Bosworth and was formerly a chapelry and township of the Market Bosworth parish. The settlement is almost entirely agricultural, containing several farms, and much of the land has remained in the same family since William Wollaston purchased the manor in 1625. Shenton is essentially a privately owned estate village and has seen comparatively little modern development. It has been designated a conservation area. The settlement lies either side of the Sence Brook, which is crossed by a picturesque Victorian bridge. The area is fairly flat and subject to flooding. In 1931 the parish had a population of 154.
