About Us

Upton Bishop is a village with 600 residents in South Herefordshire, just outside Ross on Wye.  We are a vibrant village with a very popular pub, The Moody Cow; a large village hall which is used by many different groups for all types of activities, and a beautiful church.  We are also home to the renowned Wobage craft centre. This website is owned and maintained by Upton Bishop Parish Council.

Upton Bishop consists of six settlements, Crow Hill, Phocle Green, Tanhouse, Tedgewood, Upton Bishop, and Upton Crews.The village of Upton Bishop is recorded in the Domesday Book within the Bromsash Hundred as Upton Episcopi, owned by the Canons of Hereford i.e. the Bishop’s Upper Town. The record includes seven Hides paying tax; in Lordship two ploughs: eighteen villagers, eleven smallholders, two Boors and a priest. The inclusion of a priest in the record suggests a settled population and the possible existence of a place of worship at that time.

Upton Bishop WI now holds its monthly meetings at 7pm on the second Tuesday of each month (except January) at The Community Hub, Starling Road, St Mary’s Garden Village, HR9 7QJ. On Tuesday 12th November at 7pm, Upton Bishop WI will be hearing from Dr David Marshall about his work on “Apples & People”. Herefordshire grows more apples than anywhere else in the UK, and the UK plays an important part in the global story of the apple. The “Apples & People” exhibition programme is a partnership between the Brightspace Foundation, the Museum of Cider and the National Trust in Herefordshire. Apples & People explores the astonishing story of the apple through forty-six apple stories. Connecting its diverse history to humanity and culture. Based upon a specially commissioned apple world map, which traces the network of stories from the ancient world to the present day.To tie in with the members we will be competing to win The Pruddah Cup for the best dish containing apples. We also have a Walk & Talk group, Coffee & Craft group, trips and joint activities across the country and countrywide.www.Upton_BishopWI@herefordshirewi.org.uk ... See MoreSee Less
