Friends, Because "Tracing your Ancestors in Warwickshire " emphasises the Village as being part of WAR. I thought it may be useful to have a description from the WOR perspective :-) Firstly there is another Tredington in the same area , in Gloucestershire 3miles SE of Tewkesbury. This is about the Village situated on the River Stour , part of Worcestershire until c1930 . >From " Topographical Dictionary of England 1831 " ( Digitised on CD by Archive CD Books ) 'TREDINGTON, a parish forming, with the Parishes of Shipston upon Stour and Tidmington, a distinct portion of the upper division of the Hundred of Oswaldslow, county of Worcester, being locally in the Kington Division of the Hundred of Kington, county of Warwickshire, 2½ miles N of the Parish of Shipston upon Stour, containing the Hamlets of Armscott, Blackwell, Darlingstock, and Newbold, 1032 Inhabitants. The living is a Rectory, in two portions in the peculiar jurisdiction of the Rector, jointly rated with the King's Books at £99.17.6d and in the patronage of the Principal and Fellow's of Jesus' College, Oxford. The church is dedicated to St Gregory, there has been a church on the site since abt 1160, part of the nave of the present church, has masonry of the original church completed in 1160. This parish was divided under an act, passed in the 6th year of reign of George I, when the townships of Shipston and Tidmington were separated from it and constituted a distinct parish The River Stour runs through the Parish. There was formerly a monastery , the remaining part of which is now the Rectory House. There is small endowed school in the parish " Helen New Zealand
