Bredenbury is a village and parish in the hundred of Broxash in Herefordshire. It is located 12⅓ miles north-east of Hereford. The village lies on the A44 road, three miles from Bromyard and eight miles from Leominster.[2]
The parish had a population of 185 in the 2001 UK Census, reducing to 169 at the 2011 census, and is grouped with Grendon Bishop and Wacton to form Bredenbury & District Group Parish Council for administrative purposes.
The parish church, dedicated to St Andrew, is in the style of 1300 but was built in the 1870s from a design by T H Wyatt.[3] Land for the church was donated by William Barneby, of nearby Bredenbury Court. The Barneby family commissioned many of the interior furnishings for the new church.[4] Wyatt also designed the first phase of Bredenbury Court in the Italianate style. An extension in 1902 was designed by Sir Guy Dawber.[3]
Bredenbury Primary School is much smaller than average but was rated as outstanding by Ofsted in 2008.
