Many thanks to the folks at the Pattys Farmhouse for facilitating this camera's location and to Worcestershire County Council for capitally funding its installation. Brook Lane at its junction with Main Street floods frequently when the River Avon is in spate. Please click here for flooding information regarding this location. Due to the frequent flooding experienced in this area, we have strategically positioned one of our Farson Digital cameras to aid the local community and the council in monitoring water levels. Cropthorne, a village documented in the Domesday Book, boasts the historic St Michael's Church, which traces its origins back to the 12th century. This remarkable church holds the esteemed Grade I listed status. The village showcases a multitude of distinctive, timber-framed thatched cottages from the 16th and 17th centuries, making it a unique architectural ensemble. In fact, approximately half of the village has been designated as a Conservation Area, recognizing its historical and cultural significance. Moreover, Cropthorne houses a Site of Special Scientific Interest known as the Cropthorne New Inn Section.
In 2007, Cropthorne and its surrounding area endured extensive flooding, leaving a lasting impact. Notably, the B4084 road, which serves as a vital link between the towns of Evesham and Pershore, suffered a collapse, resulting in significant disruptions throughout Worcestershire County. This particular road damage came to be known as the Cropthorne Canyon. The subsequent repairs required four months of dedicated efforts and incurred an estimated cost of £1 million.
