Weobley (pronounced Webbley) is one of the best-preserved Tudor villages in the country, with many beautiful timber framed buildings.

 

When Wibba created a clearing in the woods (a ley) here in the 6th Century, little did he think that his name would still be attached to the village 1500 years later. His father, Cridda, was King of Mercia and held a hill fort not far away at Credenhill (Cridda's hill).

 

In Weobley many aspects of 1500 years of British history are represented. From its Saxon origins, through the Norman Conquest to the medieval period, the Civil War, and the agricultural revolution. Here you will discover the remains of an 11th Century castle, a 12th Century Church and many houses from the14th Century onwards.

 

This picturesque village has all the facilities necessary for the perfect holiday – or for residents, the perfect life – good accommodation, a wide range of shops, two schools, an excellent medical centre, a Post Office, local History Centre, tea rooms, pubs and a restaurant, residential art classes, pottery lessons, further education classes and clubs and societies to meet all tastes. Above all you will find the people friendly and helpful - it’s not difficult to understand why Weobley won the National Village of the Year in 1999.
