Inkberrow
Inkberrow is a village in Worcestershire, England. In 2001, it had a population of 5,308, and 2,170 households.
The earliest recorded version of the village is Intanbeorgas, "Inta's mounds or barrows", from 789. By the 15th century, the spelling may have become Ingtebarwe; nearby villages also mentioned include Church Lench, Abbots Morton and Arrow. By the 16th century, it was known as Inkebarrow.
The area was within Feckenham Forest, a royal forest with harsh forest law punishments.
Cookhill Priory stood 3 mi (4.8 km) to the east, at the edge of the county.
In 2006 Inkberrow was awarded the title of Worcestershire Village of the Year and won the Building Community Life section of the competition.
Inkberrow was identified as a potential site for a new town in the 1960s,[citation needed] but this plan was not carried out. 275 properties were built in the village between 1969 and 1972. More houses were built in the village in 2013. In 2016, 100 new houses were built by Bovis Homes.
Inkberrow Millennium Green is an eight-acre public open space to the east of the village, opened in 2000, which includes a medieval moat and fishpond, a variety of wildflowers and fruit trees, and a millennium seat with extensive views.
In 2024, The Daily Telegraph reported that a "class war" was taking place in the village. There was disagreement over plans to increase seating at the local football ground. The reporter said that "There are also fears that more developments will follow, and that Inkberrow may one day lose its village status and become a small town".
