CLICK FOR 2021 CENSUS DATAIntroduction
Madresfield is a village and civil parish in the administrative district of Malvern Hills in the county of Worcestershire, England. It is located about two miles east of Malvern town centre at the foot of the Malvern Hills and is less than two miles from the River Severn. Surrounded by farms and common land, it has a clear view of the entire range of the Malvern Hills, and is part of the informal region referred to as The Malverns. The name Madresfield possibly derives from 'Mather's Field' (though there are other theories to its origin) and is pronounced "Ma-ders Field" or "Ma-dres Field". A Roman kiln was discovered on ground near Northend Farm, and near to what is now called Roman Way. The village boasted two village greens, Mathersfield Green near "Byways" and Bunn's Green on the corner of Northend Lane and Rectory Lane. The first point-to-point racing amateur horseback race was held at Madresfield in 1836.
