Chadwich, Bromsgrove, B61 0QH

Chadwich, situated in the Parish of Bromsgrove in Worcestershire, is a rural locality noted for its historical connection to agricultural practices. The area is associated with the Manor of Chadwich, also referred to as Chadwick, and includes commons and waste lands that were managed under 18th‑century parliamentary acts. In the 20th century, the local farming community was served by Worcestershire Farmers Limited, an agricultural cooperative that supplied inputs such as feed, seeds and fuel, while also handling packing, distribution and marketing of produce. This cooperative model was recognised as unique in England and possibly Europe, reflecting the strong agricultural tradition of the area. The locality’s setting suggests a countryside environment with historic land use and community‑based farming activities.
