Famed for one of the "naughty" placenames, but just one of the local "big" family names in the Malvern area. Others being Lygon, Foley, Beauchamp (pronounced as in Nigel's friend Tim Beauchamp). The Hornyolds who had married into the Lygon family in the 16th century were two of the largest land owners in this area. The Hornyold estate stretched from here to Pershore - some 12 miles away! The Lygons were based beyond that with land centred around Broadway.
