Background
History
Honeybourne was two villages: Church Honeybourne in Worcestershire and Cow Honeybourne in Gloucestershire. Their names are derived from Old English hunig, "honey" and burna, "stream," the whole meaning "(places on) the stream by which honey is found," the first word of Cow Honeybourne comes from Old English calu, "bare, lacking vegetation." Boundary changes in 1931 moved Cow Honeybourne into Worcestershire and the two parishes were united in 1958. Honeybourne has several historic timber framed and thatched buildings. The Thatched Tavern in Cow Honeybourne has a cruck truss.
