}}Birtsmorton is a village and civil parish in the Malvern Hills of Worcestershire, England, which at the 2001 census had a population of 250. It is in the south-west of the county, not far from the borders with Herefordshire and Gloucestershire. The church is dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul.[1] There is a large manor house, Birtsmorton Court, which is used today as a wedding venue.[2]

Birtsmorton was the birthplace of the chairmaker Philip Clissett who lived in the parish from his birth in 1817 until about 1842.[3]

Toponymy

The village belonged to the Le Bret family from the 12th century onwards. Bret means Breton. The same family name is associated with Westonbirt House near Tetbury, Gloucestershire.[4]
