TIDMINGTON, a parish forming, with Shipston upon Stour and Tredington, a detached portion of the upper division of the hundred of OSWALDSLOW, county of WORCESTER, being locally in the Kington division of the hundred of Kington, county of Warwick, 1½ mile (S. by E.) from Shipston upon Stour, containing 70 inhabitants. The living is a rectory with Shipston upon Stour, in the archdeaconry and diocese of Worcester. The church is partly in the early style of English architecture, and partly of later date. Tidmington and Shipston upon Stour were formerly townships in the parish of Tredington, from which they were separated by act of parliament, in the 6th of George I., and made a distinct parish; on this occasion the rectory of Tredington was divided into three parts.
