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

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
