Brockhampton

Brockhampton is a village and civil parish in Herefordshire, England. The village is near the River Wye, 14 kilometres (9 mi) south east of Hereford, 13 kilometres (8 mi) north of Ross-on-Wye, and 16 kilometres (10 mi) south-west of Ledbury. The Wye Valley Walk passes through Brockhampton. The parish forms part of the Old Gore ward of Herefordshire Council. Prior to 1998, it had been part of the district of South Herefordshire in Hereford and Worcester. The population of the parish in 2011 was 229. The two most significant buildings in the village are Brockhampton Court and All Saints' Church. Brockhampton Court was substantially rebuilt, in the neo-Tudor style in 1893, as the Herefordshire residence of Arthur Wellesley Foster and his American wife, Alice. In the late 1870s, Eben Dyer Jordan of Boston, Massachusetts, had purchased Brockhampton Court, now a retirement home, as a wedding present for his daughter and her groom, A. W. Foster. The Park, Brockhampton, is the local cricket ground.
