Weobley is a village in
Herefordshire is 172 miles nortwest of London and 11 miles from
Hereford. Like
Pembridge which
is nearby, it is a very small village and not much about it is available on the internet. The Weobley link above is to a short
piece about its history. The Domesday book reports that in 1086 it was held by a Roger de Lacy who served William
the Conquerer. After the conquest, lands were taken from native aristocrats and given over to Normans. Weobley had been
held by Edwin the Prince. So it has long been a place coveted by discerning land owners. It is not difficult
to understand why.
It has many old buildings, including a 13th century church with a 14th century spire. We visited
for just a couple of hours and decided to include it because it is so pretty. There is a spectacular looking Weobley
castle nearby
but we did not see it.
