Warndon is a northeastern suburb of Worcester in Worcestershire, England. It is also a civil parish which is named after the suburb.

The parish, which includes the villages of Trotshill and Warndon was part of Droitwich Rural District until 1974 when it was annexed to Worcester under the Local Government Act 1972.[2] It had a population of 10,730 in 2021.[3]

History

Warndon is mentioned in the 1086 Domesday Book as a holding of the Bishop of Worcester, part of the manor of Northwick. It was then held by the Beauchamp and Bracey families until 1205 when Warndon became joined to the manor of Madresfield. In 1594, Sir William Lygon of Madresfield sold Warndon to Rowland Berkeley, who joined it to his manor of Spetchley in 1606.[4] Berkeley Way, the main road bordering Warndon, is named after the Berkeley family.

The parish church of St Nicholas dates from the 12th century and is notable for its black and white timber construction. It is a Grade I listed building.[5] Henry Holbeche, Dean of Worcester, dedicated the church to St Nicholas in 1542.[4]

Warndon Villages

Warndon Villages is a housing development based on "village" themes on the eastern side of Worcester, situated between Warndon and the M5 motorway.

There are four distinct "villages" in the development, the Harleys, the Lyppards, the Berkeleys, and the Meadows, each with their subdivisions. The first village opened in 1996. Warndon Villages is home to Lyppard Grange Primary School,[6] four nurseries,[7] a Tesco supermarket,[8] community centre [9] and a range of other facilities.
