Astley Cross

Astley Cross is a village in Worcestershire, England, located on the outskirts of Stourport-on-Severn.

The village lies 1 mile (1.6 km) south of the centre of Stourport,[1] just east of Dunley and southeast of Areley Kings.

The village of Astley Cross lies on Areley Common (B4196), a thoroughfare connecting Stourport to Holt Heath.

The locality of Astley Cross was mentioned at least as early as 1854, when John Noake described the area in the third volume of his work, The Rambler in Worcestershire.

[2] Noake described the landmarks, houses, bridges, and roads in the area, including Redstone Lane (which still exists).
