Whittington Tump”, or Crookbarrow Hill

“Whittington Tump”, or Crookbarrow Hill. to give it its formal name, is for many people Whittington’s chief claim to fame. It is used by many as a landmark when approaching Worcester from the south east, and I am sure this has been the case for centuries. The 17th century farmhouse and dovecote of Crookbarrow Farm that nestles beneath "The Tump” is the historic moated manor house of Whittington Manor, part of its moat is still visible, and dates back to medieval times.
