The ParishThe parish of Ullingswick lies in east central Herefordshire about 5 miles southwest of the small market town of Bromyard. Ullingswick sits in lanes about 2 miles north of the A465 road which connects Bromyard with Hereford. Of modern day Ullingswick there is very little, a scatter of farms and cottages across a gentle valley holding a small stream. Ullingswick would have been an agricultural settlement dominated by pastoral farming, with a few orchards and hop fields to add variety, little has changed today. The shallow valley holds a small tributary of the River Lugg which drains the parish southwards joining the Lugg and then the Wye to the east of Hereford and thence to the Bristol Channel through the port of Chepstow. Ullingswick is sited at around 100 metres above the sea but land rises in rolling hills to the north to reach 254 metres on nearby Hegdon Hill. Herefordshire parishes are often small and Ullingswick was no exception, it covered just under 1,200 acres and would have supported a population in the region of 300 parishioners. In Domesday times Ullingswick was held by the Canons of Hereford, a small place, even then, of just 9 ploughs albeit there was a salthouse. |
