Many orchids in the field varying from quite a dark purple to white.

This field off Rye street is a favourite of ours. The two footpaths allows a circular walk and, in late May, the orchids are in flower. The gate carries a notice produced by FWAG (the Worcestershire Farming & Wildlife Advisory Group) explaining that the area is being managed to attract and benefit wildlife. We are thanked in anticipation for our co-operation in keeping to the, so called, marked rights of way.

Now that this has been converted into a residential building the primary school children probably attend Pendock school. (Posters for the summer fete at the school are already on display in this hamlet). The alternative is Castlemorton school - which is closer.

This very rich meadow is very damp after days of bank holiday rain. Patches of ground show concentrations of orchids. In the far distance is Chase End Hill.

Not sure is this was the school, or the schoolmaster's house.

Dist:0.2km north<br/>Early in the 20th century it was realised that most of the farm workers' hovels were in a poor state of repair. With the formation of local government and the understanding of the strategic importance of a nations' capability to grow its own food several waves of rural "social" housing construction took place. Since the right-to-buy initiatives at the end of that century without replacing the pool housing we are now in a similar position as we had a century ago.
