The population of the public parish at the 2011 census was 753.[1] It is located on the A4117 road to the west of the market town of Cleobury Mortimer. Its unusual-sounding name is derived from Old English hop (a side valley running off a larger valley, originally from a Celtic word) and tun (farm or settlement), along with the name of Robert de Wafre, an early holder of the manor.[2] A post-medieval glassworks was located in Hopton Wafers which produced glass in the 17th and 18th centuries.[3] The village church, St Michael and All Angels, was built in 1825: a Norman church had previously stood on the site, but had become dilapidated. The works were funded by Thomas Botfield, who had purchased the manor in 1812.[4] There is a pub in the village, named The Crown at Hopton.[5] The county's last remaining emergency escape lane (a sand trap for vehicles unable to brake) was removed in 2014 after being deemed both obsolete and potentially dangerous; it was located at the foot of Hopton Bank (on the A4117).[6] [7]The 2L bus service (Ludlow-Bewdley-Kidderminster) provides regular public buses Monday to Saturday.[8] See also
