Elmley Lovett

Elmley Lovett in Worcestershire, England is a civil parish whose residents' homes are quite loosely clustered east of its Hartlebury Trading Estate as well as in minor neighbourhood Cutnall Green to the near south-east. The latter is a loosely linear settlement that includes a pub-restaurant and farm shop on the Elmley Lovett side of the boundaries; it continues passing its near-square public green into the parish of Elmbridge, a similarly sized parish over to the east.[2][3] Its old stone parish church, much restored, has four very tall lancet windows to each side of the nave and a modest belltower topped by a tall stone spire. It is flanked by a scattering of tall trees.[4] The village is 5 miles (8.0 km) NNW of Droitwich but Cutnall Green is closer to 4 miles.[5]
