Mappleborough Green is a small village and civil parish in Warwickshire, in the non-metropolitan district of Stratford-on-Avon. The village has a population of 540[1] and the civil parish 857.[2]

Mappleborough Green lies on the extreme western edge of Warwickshire adjacent to Redditch and thus forming part of the county border with Worcestershire,[3] and adjoins the parishes of Studley, Tanworth-in-Arden, Beoley, Morton Bagot and Oldberrow.[4] The western edge of the parish is largely aligned with the A435 trunk road from Evesham to Birmingham.

History

[edit]

Although likely settled since around 1200CE, Mappleborough Green was part of the Studley estate until 1824.[5] A church was built in the village in the Victorian era, financed by Sir William Jaffray Bart and remains in active use. A Wesleyan chapel in the village is no longer active.[5] The civil parish was formed on 1 April 2004 from Studley.[6]

Business

[edit]

Mappleborough Green is primarily rural.[7] Local business includes farming and a concentration of garden centres.[1] These and the parish's country pubs serve the much larger population of Redditch.[8] The village also has a Chinese restaurant[1]
