Elmbridge is a hamlet clustered around a meeting of lanes in Worcestershire.
The hamlet stands on top of the gentle, mainly green vale of the Elmbridge Brook which feeds south a few miles into Droitwich Spa, there flowing into the short River Salwarpe, in navigability superseded by the parallel Droitwich Canal, both left-bank tributaries of the Severn.
Ambridge, the fictional village in the fictional county of Borsetshire, in The Midlands, may possibly have been based on Cutnall Green.[1]
Church
The parish church, St Mary, is largely a Victorian reconstruction of a mediæval building.[2]
