Westerfield College

Abberley is an affluent and beautiful civil parish located in north-west Worcestershire, England. It has been known for its charming countryside setting as well as historic landmarks like the Abberley Clock Tower, and its distinct parts: The Village, The Common, and The Hill. A character and charming picturesque village which offers a peaceful and rural atmosphere, distinguishing it from the noisy and bustling city or suburban area.

Warm welcome to Abberley, the town village itself exudes a quintessential English character, boasting charming stone cottages, a network of narrow country lanes, arousing a sense of timelessness that invites curiosity and exploration. The iconic Abberley Clock Tower, which sits on the campus of Westerfield College, stands as a landmark, watching over the surrounding landscape and providing a symbol of tradition and enduring beauty.

The Abberley Clock Tower, built for John Joseph Jones in 1883-1884, was designed by James Piers St Aubyn and is part of the Abberley Hall Estate. Originally intended as a memorial for Joseph Jones, who left Abberley Hall to John Joseph, it served as a Home Guard observation post during WWII.

The tower is a Grade II* listed building and is claimed to be visible from six counties. It was built by Patman and Fotheringham during 1883 under the guidance of Master Mason George Long. It was completed the following year and is said to have cost £7, 980.

This enchanting Civil parish creates a nurturing and inspiring atmosphere for both learning and personal growth—a setting where our students can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally, surrounded by the timeless beauty of Worcestershire.

We are proud to say, Abberley is not just a location; it’s a place that shapes experiences and memories, making it the perfect home for Westerfield College.
