The village of 'Ombersley' is in the Wychavon District Council area of Worcestershire about 5 miles north of Worcester on the main A449 road to Kidderminster.
The first known reference to the village[1] was the granting of a Charter to Abbot Egwin, later Saint Egwin, of Evesham Abbey in 706 AD. This was the Charter of Ethelweard, which granted twelve cassates in Ombersley to the Benedictine Abbey at Evesham.[2]
