Districts of Redditch - Feckenham

Feckenham

Feckenham is in practical terms a separate village, but is governed by Redditch Borough Council and counts administratively as a district.

Feckenham village arose because it straddled the ancient saltway track between Alcester and Droitwich (later a Roman road, now the modern B4090 road), and the early stretches of the Bow Brook.

Feckenham Forest once covered a substantial area of Worcestershire. It was used as a Norman royal hunting forest, and there was a royal hunting lodge near the village.
