Your attention is drawn to the Important Notice on the last page of the brochure. situation Barton Court is in the area of stunning countryside close to the Malvern Hills on the borders of Herefordshire and Worcestershire. Ledbury is famous for its medieval town centre and has an excellent range of local shops and services including The Feathers Hotel, whilst the A449 provides quick access to Great Malvern and Worcester. Of particular importance are the number of extremely good private schools in nearby Colwall and Malvern. The M50/M5 is highly accessible providing fast access north to Birmingham and south to the M4. Colwall has a station with train services to London and Birmingham and there are International airports at Birmingham and Bristol. Recreational opportunities include golf courses at Hereford, Malvern and Dymock; race courses at Worcester and Cheltenham; Malvern is an acclaimed cultural centre with its Abbey and theatres; and there are glorious walks and rides through the surrounding countryside and over the Malvern Hills. The Property Barton Court is an imposing red brick mansion with stunning views out to the Malvern Hills. The original Manor house dates back to the late medieval period whilst the grander Georgian front was built in 1780 by Henry Lambert after his wedding to the heiress Sarah Pritchard from neighbouring Hope End. The house is of asymmetric design with six bays and pediment over the larger third bay. The porthole and porch are Victorian additions, and the sun parlour (now enclosed) is from 1925. The Victorian east wing (1895) is now a self-contained annexe with two single garages and machinery store under. Barton Court has three driveways leading to parking areas to the front and rear. The house is entered through the porch to an elegant reception hall with doors off to the main reception rooms. There are an abundance of period features including decorative coving, plasterwork and friezes, panelled doors with fretted doorheads, dado rails, tall sash windows A fine oak staircase with mahogany handrail and fine fireplaces. Both the principle rooms look leads up past a part glazed armorial window out over the front gardens, with the drawing to a light landing and the main bedrooms, room being one of the grandest rooms remaining all enjoying fine views. The billiards room in Herefordshire, with Mr Lambert’s impressive has a bay window overlooking the gardens ceiling (believed to have been done by Robert to the west.

It is of 5 bays with 2 threshing floors and has some fine flagstone flooring. The right hand end has some original loose boxes and an area of garaging and a coach Reception house.

The Dovecote is a fine example of the round style particular to Herefordshire and probably dates to the mid 14th Century. The interior nesting boxes with ledges are well preserved and it is a scheduled monument. The Clock Tower dates from 1845 and houses the 8 day single face clock, still with the original hand wound movement, and is attached to the hound kennel and run with a hound wash and ferret cages above.

  • GOING with the FLOW; How Colwall Stream Reaches the River by Rebecca Roseff
    GOING WITH THE FLOW; How Colwall Stream Reaches The River by Rebecca Roseff Running along the edge of our garden in Colwall is a small stream, which though low in summer never actually runs dry. This is surprising as its source, a marshy area on the west side of the Malverns, is hardly half a mile away, you wouldn’t think there would be enough rain in that small amount of ground to keep it going throughout the year, but there is. I have always been intrigued by this stream because it takes what seems to me a contrary route. Rejecting the direction of all other streams in Herefordshire that go south, towards the Wye, this stream takes the opposite direction; north and into Worcestershire. To do this it has to make its way across the low lying area between Colwall and Mathon that geologists say had once been a glacial lake and then somehow find a gap through the steep hills around Suckley. Once past these its way is clear and it continues east along lower ground to the Teme five miles west of Worcester. I promised myself I would walk its whole distance one day, to see what fields and woods it passed, what mills it had powered and houses serviced along its 15 mile course to the end. So one fine May morning I set out with my walking companion, equipped with water and sandwiches, to follow its route. We left the house just after eight allowing ourselves a whole day to complete the task. I had calculated we could do it, there were footpaths all the way that followed, crossed and re-crossed our stream and, if we timed it right, we could catch the 417 bus back to Ledbury and from there the train home to Colwall.

  • HEREFORDSHIRE Is Repeatedly Referred to in Domesday As Lying In
    ABO BLOOD GROUPS, HUMAN HISTORY AND LANGUAGE IN HEREFORDSHIRE WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE LOW B FREQUENCY IN EUROPE I. MORGAN WATKIN County Health Department, Aberystwyth Received6.x.64 1.INTRODUCTION HEREFORDSHIREis repeatedly referred to in Domesday as lying in Wales and the county is regularly described as such in the Pipe Rolls until 1249-50. Of the two dozen or so charters granted to the county town, a number are addressed to the citizens of Hereford in Wales. That fluency in Welsh was until 1855oneof the qualifications for the post of clerk to the Hereford city magistrates indicated the county's bilingual nature. The object of the present investigation is to ascertain whether there is any significant genetic difference between the part of Herefordshire conquered by the Anglo-Saxons and the area called "Welsh Hereford- shire ".Assome moorland parishes have lost 50 per cent. of their inhabitants during the last 50 years, the need to carry out the survey is the more pressing. 2.THE HUMAN HISTORY OF HEREFORDSHIRE Pre-Norman Conquest Offa'sgeneral line of demarcation between England and Wales in the eighth century extending in Herefordshire from near Lyonshall to Bridge Sollars, about five miles upstream from Hereford, is inter- mittent in the well-wooded lowlands, being only found in the Saxon clearings. From this Fox (i) infers that the intervening forest with its dense thickets of thorn and bramble filling the space under the tree canopy was an impassable barrier. Downstream to Redbrook (Glos.) the river was probably the boundary but the ferry crossing from Beachley to Aust and the tidal navigational rights up the Wye were retained by the Welsh—facts which suggest that the Dyke was in the nature of an agreed frontier.

  • Herefordshire Past
    Herefordshire Past The Newsletter of The Trust for the Victoria County History of Herefordshire Registered charity no. 1070427 Series 2, No. 28, Autumn 2019 Notes from the Editor The last Newsletter was a bumper edition; this time we are back to our usual length. Our contributing editors for Cradley have again written articles for this Newsletter, both, as it happens, on rectors of Cradley. One rector, though a pluralist, seems to have been a popular incumbent; the other was outlawed for murder. David Whitehead looks at 19th- and early 20th-century Colwall as a resort village, taking advantage of the springs on the Malvern hills. I have been doing a bit more work on the Mordiford dragon and its origins since the brief note in last autumn’s Newsletter. May I again make a plea for copy for the next number? As I have said before, we are interested in articles about all parts of the county. Perhaps by the spring more VCH volunteer groups will be up and running and able to make contributions to the newsletter, but we could still do with a wider range of articles. I cannot refer to volunteers without mentioning the Wills Group, one of the original Herefordshire VCH volunteer groups, which has closed down after nearly 14 years of work. You can read a little more about the group elsewhere in this newsletter. To turn to VCH work in progress. The Colwall text is going through the final editorial process at the central VCH. It has been peer reviewed, a process which threw up only a few additional queries, and all that now remains to be done is to finalise the illustrations and prepare the maps.

The wealth of data accumulated over recent years is analysed to provide population trends and an insight into the present state of our local wildlife. This information helps to inform wildlife organisations to consider appropriate wildlife management on the Malvern Hills, surrounding Commons & Meadows, and nearby local wildlife reserves. 1 There are plenty of opportunities to become more involved in recording and conservation work with the Malvern Butterfly Group and West Midland Butterfly Conservation, and also Malvern Hills Trust and Worcestershire Wildlife Trust.
