“Here,” says Dugdale, “were two castles, the one north-east of the church, about one-fourth of a mile, to this day called by the name of Castle-hill; the other southward from the church, scarce half the distance, bearing still the name of Castle-yard, and unto which a park, of very large extent, was attached.”

The living is a vicarage in the diocese of Worcester. Value, £249. Patron, the Lord Chancellor. The church is ancient, but good; and there is a Wesleyan chapel. Avery’s charity, for educating and apprenticing poor children, has £231; Green’s school has £12; and other charities have £36.
