Historic Environment Record

The Worcestershire Historic Environment Record is the primary index of all heritage assets and investigations for the County of Worcestershire. The HER covers all the land within the local districts of Wyre Forest, Bromsgrove, Redditch Borough, Wychavon and Malvern Hills, including the area of Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty located within the county boundaries

The HER database holds approximately 83,000 records including archaeological sites, historic buildings, monuments, and landscape features. The HER can help you to research:

• Your area, whether that’s a village, a particular building, or parish
• A particular period of interest, including Roman, Medieval, and World War II
• Industries such as lime kilns, carpet factories, and needle manufacturing
• Historic artefacts, such as coins, pottery, plant, and animal remains
