Latest reviews | Events in Cleobury Mortimer
Straddling the Kidderminster to Ludlow road (the A4117), west of the Wyre Forest, is the small market town of Cleobury Mortimer. A settlement since Saxon times the name probably derives from the nearby Clee Hills, 'Clifu' = a steep place and 'Bury' = a fortified settlement or it could refer to the fortified Neolithic earthworks at Castle Toot just over the River Rea. After the conquest the lands came under the control of Ralph de Mortimer who made Cleobury his principle residence. The Mortimer`s were a rebellious and unneighbourly lot who's history is well recorded; Hugh Mortimer, Ralph`s son, refused to pay homage to Henry II and had his castles sacked, including the one at Cleobury, but was allowed to re-build it in 1179. The church of St.Mary has a crooked spire; built in the 12th century - probably on the site of an earlier Saxon church - a plain wooden spire was added in the 13th century, exposed to the elements the wood warped giving it its present appearance. The church underwent a major restoration in 1874-5 under the direction of Sir Gilbert Scott. Agriculture has been the mainstay of the local economy holding regular sheep & cattle markets and the school had an agricultural curriculum the late 19th century, but other industries including an Iron Foundry have contributed to the towns makeup. The town (the second smallest in Shropshire) is famous for the number of pubs for its size including, an award winning brewery. With the River Rea on its eastern flanks Cleobury Mortimer presents a quiet and relaxing atmosphere.
