Brief description

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almeley

2025: "Almeley (pronounced /ˈæmliː/) is a village and civil parish in Herefordshire, England. The civil parish includes the hamlets of Almeley Wootton, Lower Wootton, Woonton and Upcott. The 2021 census recorded the parish population as 553.[1] Almeley is in the west of the county, about 18 miles (29 km) northwest of Hereford, 13 miles (21 km) southwest of Leominster and 7 miles (11 km) from the border with Wales.[2] The village is on the Black and White Village Trail.

Much of the present village is built around a triangle of roads, with St Mary's parish church to the south, and on the edge of the built area. East of the church is Almeley Primary School. The village hall is at the eastern point of the triangle. North of the church is The Bells public house, also containing a village shop. At one of the road junctions by the church are the war memorial and a small sculpture depicting Almeley Parish.

Of historical interest are the Oldcastle (on the north-west side of the village) and Almeley Castle (a Norman motte and bailey castle) just south of the church. A brook, offering a reliable water supply, runs past both castles. There is an Historic AA sign in the village. Almeley was awarded "Best Kept Herefordshire Village" in 1990.

One of the early Quaker meeting houses is in Almeley Wootton, a hamlet in the parish about 1⁄2 mile (800 m) north of Almeley village. It was given to the Quakers in 1672 by its owner, Roger Prichard, and is still in use by Quakers today. It celebrated its 350th anniversary in 2022.[8] Two of the Quakers who worshipped there (Roger's son, Edward Prichard, and Edward's brother-in-law, John Eckley) were involved with William Penn in setting up the colony of Pennsylvania in 1682.[9]"
