Turn back into the High Street and go left along to the end. At the end of High Street, the black and white building on the corner on the right hand side was previously Bullock’s 15^th century café.

The building now houses the Wychavon District Council One-Stop Shop.  Adjacent to the shop there is an area of ground, where when it was excavated in March 1999, a 14^th century glazed horseman was found.  This and other artefacts are on display in the Heritage Centre.

Turn left out of the High Street into Queen Street, and follow it to the junction of the Hanbury Road and Saltway at a set of traffic lights. Over the junction ahead of you is Chapel Bridge.

This is the site of the ancient entrance to the town and the crossing of the River Salwarpe.  This crossing was guarded in Roman times and a fort stood on the top of Dodderhill up to your left hand side.  In medieval times Chapel Bridge was the site of an unusual church, a dependent chapel of St. Peter’s.

In 1781 the historian, Dr. Treadway Nash, described how packhorses would be led through the middle of the building when the river was too high to be forded. 

The chapel was demolished in 1763.

This is the house built by John Corbett in the form of a French Chateau reputedly in honour of his French born wife in 1875. 

Three thousand men were involved in the construction of the building, totally transforming the landscape creating 120 acres of parkland, lakes, waterfalls and tropical gardens and over 3,000 varieties of trees were planted.
