CHER(R)INGTON

The river Stour runs through this narrow parish, with the village some four miles south east of Shipston-on-Stour. A number of houses date from the early eighteenth century and many are built of Cotswold stone, but there have been some recent constructions. Near to the village of Stourton there is an old mill wheel, the mill was working as late as 1948. Stourton is partly in this parish and partly in Whichford.
