Wribbenhall

WRIBBENHALL, a hamlet, in the parish and union of Kidderminster, Lower division of the hundred of Halfshire, Kidderminster and W. divisions of the county of Worcester, situated on the left bank of the Severn, immediately opposite Bewdley, and connected with that town by a noble bridge of three arches over the river. The village is of respectable appearance. The district church here, formerly a chapel of ease, erected in 1701, is a neat brick edifice, which has undergone several repairs and improvements since that time: in 1822 a gallery was added, by subscription, at the west end; and the present number of sittings is about 300. The living is in the gift of the Vicar of Kidderminster. A day and Sunday school is supported in connexion with the Establishment.

Transcribed from A Topographical Dictionary of England, by Samuel Lewis, seventh edition, published 1858.
