Little Inkberrow is a hamlet in Worcestershire.
Ralph Ardern inherited the Worcestershire manor of Little Inkberrow [1] between 1382 (the death of his father, Henry de Ardern) and 1408 (the death of his mother).[2]
The Inkberrow Tower in the village was built in 1996 to house a mobile phone mast. From 1962 the site had been an observer post. The tower was built as a folly at the request of the landowner as a condition of permitting Mercury to have a site here, instead of an unsightly mast.[3]
