History
In 710, according to the chronicles of the abbey of Evesham, Ceolred, King of Mercia, gave land in ARROW to the abbey. It was subsequently wrested from them but regained by Abbot Agelwy II (1070–7), only to be lost again to Odo, Bishop of Bayeux, (fn. 15) who at the time of the Domesday Survey held 7½ hides
Arrow Mill was mentioned in the Domesday Book and is now a hotel and restaurant as well as a working water mill. In the village are the gates to Ragley Hall which has been home to the Marquess of Hertford's family since the mid 18th century. In the village church is a statue of one of the Marquesses sculpted by Prince Victor of Hohenlohe-Langenburg, a nephew of Queen Victoria.
