Real property, £3,147. Pop., 420. Houses, 93. The property is divided among a few. Bredwardine Castle, now a ruin, was the seat of the Bredwardine family; one of whom was Archbishop of Canterbury in 1349. The living is a vicarage, united with the rectory of Brobury, in the diocese of Hereford. Value, £370.* Patron, the Rev. N. D. H. Newton. The church is an old structure, of nave and chancel, with a tower; and is in good condition. A charity to the poor, bequeathed by George Jarvis, Esq., who died in 1793, yields £1,253 a year.
