Upper Ditchford

Site of the Mediæval village of Upper Ditchford

Upper Ditchford

Upper Ditchford was mediæval village, now abandoned, which stood to the west of the Fosse Way between Moreton-in-Marsh and Stretton on Fosse, in Gloucestershire, or technically in one of the many detached parts of Worcestershire locally situate in Gloucestershire. It stood by the Knee Brook, close to the farmstead today called Neighbrook.

Downstream is the site of another abandoned village, Lower Ditchford, and beyond that yet another, Ditchford Frary.

Upper Ditchford stood a mile north of the current hamlet of Aston Magna and a mile and a half east of Paxford.
