Elmley Lovett is a parish in the Halfshire hundred of Worcestershire, whose residents' homes are quite loosely clustered east of its Hartlebury Trading Estate as well as in minor neighbourhood Cutnall Green to the near south-east. The latter is a loosely linear settlement that includes a pub-restaurant and farm shop on the Elmley Lovett side of the boundaries; it continues passing its near-square public green into the parish of Elmbridge, a similarly sized parish over to the east.[2][3] Its old stone parish church, much restored, has four very tall lancet windows to each side of the nave and a modest belltower topped by a tall stone spire. It is flanked by a scattering of tall trees.[4] The village is five miles north-north-west of Droitwich but Cutnall Green is closer to four miles.[5]

History

The Moule family of Snead's Green House were among the most prominent local landowners from the 1620s until the late nineteenth century, when the family died out in the male line.[5]
