History of Crowle
A medieval village was established to the north west of the present parish church, around Crowle Court. Over the ensuing centuries, the settlement developed along two axes – Church Road and School Lane. Only ruins now remain of the medieval core of Crowle but there are several fine sixteenth century black and white timber-framed cottages interspersed with attractive eighteenth and nineteenth century farmsteads and red brick cottages as well as some scattered post-1930 houses.
All About Crowle
Crowle is 3 miles from Junction 6 of the M5, which may account for its popularity as a base for those wishing to work elsewhere.
Geographically Crowle lies on the top of a hill known locally as Crowle Bank and situated about 5 miles East of the centre of Worcester. It has an area of approximately 900 hectares, most of which is predominantly agricultural and woodland. It has around 400 dwellings, and a population of about 1,000.
Of Crowle’s principal facilities, the Church, the Church of England First School, Parish Hall, Jubilee playing field, parish garden and playground are all in Crowle itself, whilst the Post Office and The Chequers public house are located in Crowle Green
