| Map | Little Hereford and Tenbury which during the nineteenth century constituted one of the four hamlets that made up Tenbury for administration purposes. It is on the river Teme and its tributary the Kyre, both of which have been subject to flooding and seem to have had one particularly bad flood every century: in 1615 when the bridge at Tenbury was destroyed . in 1770 when the church was destroyed and in 1886 when the water came up to the ceilings of the houses in Tenbury and one person was killed. An introduction to the region in 1910 described it so: A few fisherman come for trout fishing or grayling but by the ordinary holiday maker is quite untouched. Yet it is at the centre of rare beauty, and has much to attract those who love not the places where tourists heard. It is a country of uncommon richness; orchards of apple, plum, pear and cherry and hopyards with long over-arched avenues like church aisles lie in the valleys and ascend its slopes. The region is at its loveliest in April and May, when the orchards are a sea of white and pink blossom, but in September and October ,the time of fruit gathering and hop picking and cider making it has a charm and luscious ripeness of its own |
