Whitbourne (Anglo-Saxon for "white stream") is a village in Eastern Herefordshire, England on the banks of the River Teme and close to the A44. It is close to Bringsty Common on one side and the border of Worcestershire on the other. Around 400 people live in the village itself with about as many residing in surrounding houses and farms. It has a Welsh Water pumping station, which supplies the town of Bromyard and the surrounding area and which flooded in July 2007.
Whitbourne Church of EnglandPrimary School was a voluntary controlled school located at the centre of the village. Pupil numbers fluctuated between 40 and 70 and closed due to falling numbers in July 2013 but a local group opened the premises, with the permission of the landlords, the church, as a free school WISH - in September 2013. This closed after a short while.
The village currently has one pub, The Live at Whitbourne. The village shop, which is staffed and managed entirely by volunteers, is located in new premises south of the school: it has a recycling/composting arrangement for all its unsold fruit and vegetables, with effect from 2021. It remained open every day throughout the Covid-19 pandemic of 2020-21, to the huge benefit of the community. As a non-profit, it ploughs money back into community efforts.
Whitbourne Court by the church was once the summer home of the Church of England Bishop of Herefordshire, Francis Godwin, who wrote the first book of science fiction, entitled The Man in the Moone, which was published in 1638.[citation needed]
