Wilden, Worcestershire
Wilden is a small village about 1 mile north east of Stourport-on-Severn, Worcestershire. It is in the Stour valley and both the River Stour and the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal pass through the parish before joining the River Severn at Stourport. Nearby is Wilden Marsh, a nature reserve of the Worcestershire Wildlife Trust. History Wilden was originally part of the parish of Hartlebury, but became a separate parish in the late 19th century, before becoming part of Stourport. In the 17th century there were slitting mills on the River Stour near to the site of present church. Eventually, these mills came into the ownership of the Wilden Iron and Tin Plate Company and the Baldwin family.

This enabled canal barges to use the River Stour to deliver timber to a steam saw-mill in Wilden. Later it was used to trans ...
