	Shepshed, often known until 1888 as Sheepshed,[1] (also Sheepshead – a name derived from the village being heavily involved in the wool industry) is a town in Leicestershire, England with a population of around 14,000 people, measured at 13,505 at the 2011 census.[2] It sits within the borough of Charnwood local authority, where Shepshed is the second biggest settlement after the town of Loughborough. May come under the registration district of Loughborough?
