History

The area around Lindridge has been occupied since prehistoric times. During the 19th century a Bronze Age stone bracer was found while digging gravel in the parish, [1] [2] and field names like 'Blacklands Meadow' may reflect occupation in the Roman period. [3]

During the early medieval period Lindridge lay within the hundred of Doddingtree, but by 1275 it was transferred to the hundred of Oswaldslow. [4] Its place name originates in this period, and means 'lime tree ridge'. [5]

The medieval manor of Lindridge was held by the monks of Worcester Priory, who reputedly held land in the parish since the 8th century. [6] Place names, some of which are documented from the 13th century onwards, suggest that the manor was farmed using an open-field system. [3]

The Grade II listed church of St Lawrence was built in 1860-1, but occupies the site of an earlier medieval church. [7] [8]
