Ombersley

Ombersley , England

URPoint Details

The main street is a visual delight, with its numerous black-and-white half timbered buildings.
Among the many fine old inns to be found in Ombersley is the Kings Arms dating back to 1411. It possesses a fine early 17th century plastered ceiling.
King Charles stayed at this inn whilst escaping from the Roundheads after the battle of Worcester.

The parish Church of St Andrew has some original box pews and was consecrated in 1829.

On a grass verge at the centre of the village is a rare ‘plague stone’ recalling the Black Death which reached England in 1348. The trough like stone, originally placed outside the village, was as close as traders from outside would come.
The villagers left money in the stone, often covered in vinegar to disinfect it, and trader would leve their goods nearby.
