Cropthorne is a village and civil parish in Worcestershire, England within the Vale of Evesham, and on the north-west edge of the Cotswolds. It is approximately 13 miles (21 km) southeast of Worcester, 19 miles (31 km) north of Cheltenham, and 18 miles (29 km) southwest of Stratford-upon-Avon. Cropthorne had a population of 603, in 237 households, whilst its 2021 population was 723. Located on a small ridge overlooking the River Avon, its ancient orchards sweep down to the river and offer clear, unbroken views across the vale to the Malvern Hills in the distance. The name Cropthorne possibly derives from the Old English Croppaþorn meaning 'Croppa's thorn tree'. The church is a Grade I listed building. The village has many unique examples of timber-framed thatched cottages from the 16th and 17th centuries, and about half the village is designated as a conservation area. The village has a Site of Special Scientific Interest, Cropthorne New Inn Section.
