The street contains several Grade II listed buildings, with the oldest (numbers 55–57) dating to the late 15th century:
In an episode of Time Team, filmed in April 1993, host Tony Robinson and Professor Mick Aston climbed to the top of Holy Trinity Church. From their vantage point, they could see north down Sheinton Street and northeast along the Bull Ring, which leads to Wenlock Abbey. In response to Robinson's observation that there was a clear boundary between the end of the gardens on Sheinton Street and the fields behind, Aston replied:
Robinson mentioned this exchange during a eulogy of Aston in 2020.
They later took to a helicopter for an aerial view of the town, including a view south down Sheinton Street. Aston explains that the larger plots of land are on the eastern side of the street, given that the properties are not constricted by the town behind it as are those properties on the opposite of the street.[2]
