Bewdley traces its history to the settlement of Wribbenhall, which is on the eastern side of the River Severn, and is today part of Bewdley. Wribbenhall was listed in the Domesday Book compiled by the Normans in 1086.

Bewdley was granted a market charter by King Edward IV in 1472. He also gave the town borough status which it retained until the local government reorganization in 1974.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
