Bosbury
Bosbury is a village and civil parish in Herefordshire, England, approximately 3.5 miles (5.6 km) north of Ledbury. The small River Leadon flows through the parish, passing along the west side of the village. Bosbury shares a parish council with neighbouring Coddington.
The village has a primary school, a day nursery, a parish hall (which hosts a monthly farmers' market and a weekly post office counter), a barbers, a historic public house (The Bell), a bowls and tennis club, and a cricket club. A second pub exists just within the parish, on the main road towards Ledbury, at Staplow, The Oak.
The Church of the Holy Trinity stands in the centre of the village and is of early 12th-century foundation with later medieval additions. The 13th-century tower is notable for being one of seven in Herefordshire standing quite apart from the church, some considerable distance in Bosbury's case. This was for defensive purposes in the troubled Marches region. Inside the church sanctuary, one on each of the north and south walls, are two fine examples of Renaissance Italian tombs, dedicated to members of the Harford family who lived in Bosbury throughout the 16th century. Both the main church building and the detached tower are Grade I listed buildings.
The most notable dwelling, Bosbury House, is a substantial Georgian red brick building just outside the village, substantially altered in 1873 and now Grade II listed. Bosbury, both in the village and scattered across the parish, is also noted for its many black and white half-timbered buildings, most of which are Grade II listed.
Outside the village, the parish is well-populated but dispersed, with numerous large farms and small hamlets, including Catley, Stoneyard, Swinmore, Cold Green, Bowley Lane, Pow Green, Townend, Old Country, Slatch Farm, Norbridge, Gold Hill, Stanley Hill, Southfield and part of Staplow.
The village is situated on the B4220 road, an old route between Ledbury and Worcester, and a country bus route (Ledbury-Worcester) serves the village, with an additional bus to and from Ledbury on school days.
The nearest railway station is Ledbury, approximately 4 miles (6.4 km) distant by road.
The Herefordshire Trail long-distance footpath passes through the village, as does The National Byway.
