Elmbridge is a small community, mainly clustered in a village and forms a civil parish in Worcestershire, England.
It occupies the top of the gentle, mainly green, vale of the Elmbridge Brook which feeds south a few miles into Droitwich Spa, there flowing into the short River Salwarpe, in navigability superseded by the parallel Droitwich Canal, both left-bank tributaries of the Severn. The ecclesiastical parish has essentially the same boundaries.[2] A long, north–south, strip parish, it broadens in the southwest to take in the minor neighbourhood of Broad Common which straddles the streets Kidderminster Road and The Knoll and a little of adjacent Broad Alley. Near Broad Common it takes in about half of the linear neighbourhood Cutnall Green along the Kidderminster Road namely an Indian restaurant & bar, Oak Tree Bar and most of Forest Drive, all forming a 20th-century first-developed area of homes, mainly with gardens. Ambridge, the fictional village in the fictional county of Borsetshire, in The Midlands, may possibly have been based on Cutnall Green.[3]
Beside the church is a public green and in private land set behind buildings, opposite, is a pond.
As at the census date of Sunday 27 March 2011, four weeks before Easter, ten of its 475 residents (or their parents) stated they were pupils or students living at their non-term-time address.
Its Anglican church dedicated to Saint Mary is largely a Victorian reconstruction of a medieval building.[4]
