Church

A church or chapel has existed at Wichenford from early times with mention of a chapel in Wichenford, which was attached to the church of St. Helen, Worcester around 1234. Parts of the present church of St. Lawrence date from about 1320.^[1]

Shops

Until the mid 1990's Wichenford had both a village shop with Post Office and a village bakery, both now closed down. The two shops were situated at opposite sides of the village green, in the centre of the village. Wichenford also has a pub, the Mason's Arms which is situated on the outskirts of the village boundary, on the road to Martley and is not near the village centre.

Open Gardens

Every two years (the "odd" years) a number of the village's gardens are opened by their owners over a weekend in June. The 2009 event raised over £8,100 for local charities.^[2]
