The village has a thriving primary school and cricket team, a church and popular pub The Galton Arms, named after the family who formerly owned the house. Excellent schools abound in the area, including Bromsgrove School, King's School and the Royal Grammar School in Worcester. Road communications are quick and easy to the Midlands and Gloucester from the M5 Junctions (5 and 6), as well as east towards Stratford, north east to Redditch and south east to Evesham. Historical Note Himbleton Manor Estate was acquired by Sir Douglas Galton, second son of Howard Galton of Hadzor. Born in 1822 and an engineer, a date of 1868 on one of the buildings suggests when much of the property was built. On his death in 1899, the Estate passed to his daughter Mrs Gascoigne, whose descendants continue to own the property to this day. Himbleton Manor The Manor is surrounded by its own land. The main tree lined drive is an elegant entrance leading to the front of the house. There is also planning permission to reinstate the part cobbled back drive which leads to the village. More recently, the house has been divided to form a number of dwellings. Whilst it remains in need of refurbishment, the overall size of the Manor of about 9943 sq ft provides immense and ample scope as well as flexibility in its accommodation.

On the ground floor, some divisions have been removed to illustrate the depth and size of key reception rooms, such as the Drawing Room. Other divisions and openings can equally be made to form impressive bedrooms with ensuite facilities on the first floor.
