The parish of Stretton Grandison neighbours Ocle Pychard to the east, while that of Westhide is to the south.

[1][2][3] At the time of the Domesday Book Ocle Pychard was in the Hundred of Tornelaus, and contained 35 households.

Roger de Lacy, the manor's co-lord with the Bishop of Hereford, was the tenant-in-chief to king William I.

The Church of St James the Great dates to the 14th century and became a Grade II* listed building on 9 June 1967.

[9] Built of "coursed local sandstone rubble with freestone dressings", the tower is believed to date to the early 19th century with a spire late added by William Chick between 1869 and 1872.
