Venues in Worcestershire; hire a Jazz Band

This is a list of venues where you may want to hire one of our Jazz Bands for your Wedding, Party or Dinner. Our bands have already performed at many of these venues.

Abberley

A village which makes a good centre for walking and motoring tours of the Teme Valley and the thickly wooded Abberley Hills. At Great Witley, 2j miles southwards, Woodbury Hill is topped by ancient earthworks covering 20 acres, the largest in the county. An attractive Queen Anne house, The Elms, is now a hotel.

Bewdley

One of England's finest old towns, with a Georgian church and many i8th-century houses, especially in Load Street. Tickenhill House, on a hill above

the town, has a brick facade added in 1738 to the remains of a Tudor royal palace. The town stands on the fringe of the Wyre Forest, and a 3^-mile nature trail starts near the Duke William Inn.

Bromsgrove

Many fine buildings are to be seen in this town of light industries. Parts of the grammar school were built in 1553, and in the High Street there are several attractive Georgian houses. The sandstone Church of St John the Baptist has a 14th-century tower and spire. Grafton Manor, 2 miles south-west, has a Tudor chapel and a lake.

Chaddesley Corbett

A pretty village with half-timbered cottages and old buildings, notably the 14th-century Talbot Inn. The 14th-century church, dedicated to St Cassian who was murdered in the village, has a 12th-century font. Just north-west of the village is Harvington Hall, a manor house with a moat and secret passages.

Droitwich

Until recently, Droitwich was best known for the therapy treatment afforded by its brine water baths. The water was pumped from a lake over a bed of rock salt deposited 200 ft below ground, and as it contained 25 Ib. of salt in each gallon, to times more than sea water, it was extremely buoyant. Water is still pumped, with a reduced brine content, to an open-air pool in Droitwich Park.

Droitwich has the elegant atmosphere of Bath, and has some black-and-white timbered buildings, yet it is a lively market town. The Church of the Sacred Heart and St Catherine has walls and a ceiling covered with striking mosaics depicting the life of St Richard.

Feckenham

A charming village standing on what was a Roman road. It has several half-timbered and Georgian houses, and was once important for the manufacture of needles and fish-hooks—industries which are now centred in Redditch, 4 miles north. A mile east is 16th-century Shurnock Court, a whitewashed farmhouse with four chimneys, each built in the shape of an eight-pointed star.

Hagley

A large village notable for Hagley Hall, a Palladian building in a splendid landscaped park, with an Ionic temple, a rotunda and Gothic ruins. The mansion was built between 1754 and 1760 by Lord Lyttelton.

Hartlebury Castle

For centuries this has been the home of the Bishops of Worcester. Only the moat survives of the original castle, as the present red-sandstone mansion was built on its site in 1675. The mansion was completely restored in 1964. In the north wing is the Hereford and Worcester County Museum, which has exhibits of local crafts and industries.

Ombersley

A pretty village of half-timbered i6th and 17th-century houses and attractive old inns, the most picturesque being The King's Arms, Ombersley Court is a fine iSth-century mansion which was refaced early in the igth century.

Shelsley Walsh

A tranquil village with leafy lanes set among hop fields and bordered by pleasant hills. On many weekends the air is filled with the roar of cars and motorcycles competing in sprint hill-climbs on a steep private road. The church has a late 15th-century screen.
