Tenbury Wells
Tenbury Wells (locally Tenbury) is a market town and also civil parish in the north-western extremity of the Malvern Hills Area of Worcestershire, England, which at the 2011 census had a population of 3,777. Tenbury Wells lies on the south bank of the River Teme, which develops the boundary in between Shropshire as well as Worcestershire. It is in the north-west of the Malvern Hills Area. The settlement of Burford in Shropshire lies on the north bank of the river. From 1894 to 1974, it was a country district, comprising itself and also villages such as Stoke Bliss, Eastham as well as Rochford. From 1974 Tenbury was in the District of Leominster until it became part Malvern Hills Area when Leominster Area Council was taken control of by Herefordshire Council in April 1998. For over 100 years Tenbury has been popular throughout the nation for its winter season public auctions of holly and mistletoe (and also other Xmas products). It is also known for its "Chinese-gothic" Pump Room structures, built in 1862, which resumed in 2001, following a significant repair. They are now possessed by Tenbury Community Council, having been moved from Malvern Hills Area Council in September 2008.
