a world wide web page by Bob & Margaret Maddick

Welcome to my Web Page Hello, my name is Bob Maddick, and I would like to personally welcome you to the Welcome To Tenbury Wells Web Site. I hope that the information about my lovely town will inspire you to visit, or learn something new. You may also be entertained with some of my mix tapes and podcasts I have created, or even enjoy a film. You can find your way around this web site with the buttons at the top. Best Wishes, Bob.

Tenbury lies in the northern part of the Malvern Hills District and borders Shropshire to the north and Herefordshire to the south and west. It is on the south side of the Teme Valley and is built on the valley's flood plain. Tenbury has been a major river crossing since the Iron Age when it connected many Iron Age forts, such as Clee Hill in the north and Garmsley in the south. It would have been crossed as a ford and it may be that the Castle Tump, now lying on the north side of the river was built to protect this crossing. Tenbury Wells had the "Wells" added to its name late last century to help promote the Mineral Water Wells that had been found in the Town from 1840 onwards. Since the 18th century it has also been known as the "Town in the Orchard" after the many cider apple orchards that surround the town.
