Leigh Sinton is a village in Worcestershire, and to the north of Great Malvern. Its original parent village, Leigh, is a mile and a half to the north, on the Leigh Brook, and now a much smaller village. The local pronunciation of Leigh is "lie". The name is found in earlier forms as Sothyntone in Lega (c.1275) and Suthin(g)ton.[1]
This village is on the A4103 Worcester to Hereford road, a mile and a half from where it plunges over the border into Herefordshire to the west and about five miles south-west of Worcester. Great Malvern's town centre is also about five miles away.
It has a village pub, a small corner shop and a Chinese takeaway.
