The name 'Rowney' possibly derives from the term 'Round Hay' which is referred to in Domesday Book as are several farm buildings and dwellings in the village.

On 9 November 1943 a Wellington Bomber aircraft crashed near Rowney Green at 19.49 hours on its way back to RAF Pershore from a routine training exercise.

According to John Corbett,[1] Albert Edward Wheeler, who lived at 'The Ferns', purchased an ex-army hut in 1920 which served as the first village hall.

It was officially called Rowney Green Peace Memorial Hall to commemorate the end of WWI but it was known as 'The Hut'.

A local community group applied for and successfully obtained two rounds of funding from a National Lottery scheme.
