Domesday Book VillageIt was called Abetune in the Domesday Book. Clee HillsAbdon is a remote rural hamlet on the slopes of the Brown Clee Hill. The population currently stands at approx. 28 dwellings. The hamlet includes a parish church (St Margaret's), a village hall and the remains of a deserted medieval village. The hamlet is very close to the remains of an Iron Age hill fort now known as Nordy Bank, situated on the southern end of the Brown Clee. Abdon has a lively community, with regular events at the village hall. The Abdon parish registers begin in the 1560s but are only complete from 1614 on, with a gap from 1641-9. Civil parishThe civil parish was large and included other settlements, including Tugford and Holdgate which were transferred into the parish in the late 20th century. The civil parish was abolished in 1 April 2017 and merged with Heath to form Abdon and Heath.[2] See also
