Hagley history

---

Evidence of previous habitation of the area is found in Bronze Age burial mounds in a field on Stakenbridge Lane. The earliest written reference to the village is as Hageleia in the Domesday Book. It formed part of the Clent Hundred, later to be amalgamated into the Halfshire Hundred.

Churches

The Domesday Book recorded that Hagley had a priest . The original wooden church dedicated to Saint John the Baptist was rebuilt in stone under the De Hagley family .

Rural industry

Two watercourses starting from the slopes of the Clent Hills run through the village . On one was Spout Mill, which ground corn near where Worcester and Kidderminster roads diverge south of village . The two brooks combined lower down to create Sweetpool (now encroached on by the railway line and silted up) beyond that was the 18th-century Brake Mill, where the stream was dammed to create the mill pool .

Hagley landmarks

Hagley Hall has been home to several centuries of the Lyttelton family. The hall is the home of Viscount Cobham, the head of the Cobham family.
