History

The key estates of this 1,560-acre (6.3 km2) chapelry of Bredon parish, [1] can be traced a generation or more further than typical, back to Anglo-Saxon England charters. [2] Its main estate and church were long possessions of the Worcester Priory, [3] and were part of Worcestershire until 1931, when the detached part (exclave) status was resolved; it was moved to Gloucestershire. [4] Its population was 116, across 30 households in 1901; both figures stood in 1911, unchanged. [4]

Dammed river with lily pads and algae, lined by deciduous trees

The west of the parish is marked by the Windrush. It has been briefly dammed, creating a tree-lined head of water, assisting the flow below in dry weather, also allowing for some algae which help to feed fish and de-nitrify the river in its rural, relatively headwater stage.
