Chaddesley Corbett

The Anglican and secular versions of the parish include other named neighbourhoods, once farmsteads or milling places: Bluntington, Brockencote, Mustow Green, Cakebole, Outwood, Harvington, and Drayton.

[7] Chaddesley Corbett covers a relatively large 6,079 acres, that is 24.6 square kilometres (9.5 sq mi) and had a population of 1343 persons and 280 houses in 1821.

[12] The monuments include former owners of Harvington Hall as well as members of the Corbett family, local lords of the manor and benefactors of the church.

The fittings include a Norman stone font, which is thought to be the work of the Herefordshire School of sculptors, active c.1125–1150, which drew on Romanesque models from southern Europe.

The dragons resemble Romanesque north Italian models, especially the pulpit of San Giulio abbey in Piedmont, but their interlacing is a motif of indigenous Anglo-Irish origin.

Harvington Hall is particularly notable for its vestment-hide and seven priest-holes, four of which are built around the main staircase and are thought to be the work of Nicholas Owen.

[19] There is also a post office and general store, a butcher, hairdresser and beauty salon, a flower shop, delicatessen and a GP surgery.

Chaddesley Corbett Sports Club is located in Fox Lane and has rugby, football and cricket sections, all of which play in one or more local leagues.
