Bartestree
Bartestree is a village and civil parish in Herefordshire, England, 7 km (4.3 mi) east of Hereford on the A438 road. The name is thought to be derived from the Old English Beorhtwald's tree.
In 1984, St Michael's Hospice, the only purpose-built hospice in Herefordshire, was constructed on land owned by Bartestree Convent.
The Convent of Our Lady of Charity & Refuge was founded in 1863 and occupied a large, red-brick building by Edward Pugin. The convent closed in 1992 and, after standing derelict for some years, the building was converted into flats.
The hamlet of Hagley and 'Hagley Court' lie to the south and west of Bartestree.
