Rhiston is a hamlet in Shropshire adjacent to the border with Montgomeryshire. It forms a township of the ancient parish of Churchstoke and along with the adjacent Brompton to the south are the only two townships in Shropshire, as the rest of the parish lies in Montgomeryshire. The eastern and western borders are both with Montgomeryshire, with the parish of Chirbury to the north.

Brompton and Rhiston became a single civil parish in 1866, which merged with that of Chirbury to form Chirbury with Brompton in 1987.[1]
