Worfield

Worfield is a village and civil parish in Shropshire, England. It is located approximately three miles west of Bridgnorth. The parish includes the hamlets of Bromley, Heath Town, and Oxenbold. The River Worfe flows through the parish.

The Domesday Book of 1086 lists Worfield as "Worfell". In the medieval period, the manor was held by the De Worfield family. The parish church, St. Peter's, dates largely from the 13th century, with significant additions and alterations in later centuries. A notable feature of St. Peter's is its 17th-century painted ceiling.

Historically, Worfield was an agricultural community. The surrounding countryside remains largely rural, with farming still a significant activity. The village has a primary school, a public house, and a village hall. Local amenities serve the immediate community and surrounding scattered dwellings.

Worfield lies within the Bridgnorth District Council area. Its geographical position places it in a pleasant rural setting within the Shropshire landscape, with accessible routes to larger towns and transport links. The village retains a traditional English village character.
