Tenbury Wells
Tenbury Wells (locally Tenbury) is a market community and civil parish in the north-western extremity of the Malvern Hills District 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 creates 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 area, comprising itself as well as towns such as Stoke Bliss, Eastham as well as Rochford. From 1974 Tenbury was in the District of Leominster till it became component Malvern Hills District when Leominster District Council was taken over by Herefordshire Council in April 1998. For over 100 years Tenbury has actually been popular throughout the country for its wintertime public auctions of holly as well as mistletoe (as well as various other Xmas items). It is also known for its "Chinese-gothic" Pump Room structures, constructed in 1862, which resumed in 2001, following a major reconstruction. They are currently owned by Tenbury Town Council, having actually been moved from Malvern Hills Area Council in September 2008.
