Upton-upon-Severn
Upton-upon-Severn is a small town and civil parish in the Malvern Hills District of Worcestershire, England, on the River Severn, often incorrectly called Upton-on-Severn. It has a population of 2,859.[1]
Located 5 miles (8.0 km) from Malvern, the bridge at Upton is the only one across the river Severn between Worcester and Tewkesbury.[2] The present bridge was built in 1940.[3]
History
Upton was founded in 897.[citation needed] Oliver Cromwell's soldiers crossed the Severn here before the Battle of Worcester in the English Civil War.[citation needed]
The town is known for its distinctive tower and copper-clad cupola known locally as the Pepperpot, the sole surviving remnant of a former church.[4]
It is said[according to whom?] to be the model for Market Snodsbury, the fictional town in the Jeeves and Wooster novels of P. G. Wodehouse and the site of Brinkley Court. It is also notable for being the birthplace, in 1953, of Formula One world champion Nigel Mansell.
Town today
The current population (2005) is around 3000.[citation needed] It is in the West Worcestershire parliamentary constituency.
Low lying areas of Upton suffered serious flooding in 2000. In the 2007 United Kingdom floods, levels exceeded those in 2000, and the town was inaccessible by road.[5] The town has been dubbed 'Upton under Severn'. However it should be borne in mind that the overall proportion of properties that were flooded remains low - the large majority of properties in Upton were not flooded.
The town has three major music festivals, with the spring folk festival, and the summer jazz and blues festivals.[6]
Transport
Upton used to have a railway station, on a branch line from Ashchurch to Malvern, with the intermediate stations Tewkesbury, Ripple, Upton upon Severn and Malvern Wells (Hanley Road).[7] The Upton to Malvern section closed in December 1952 and the rest in August 1961, before the Beeching Axe.
Upton Marina is home to Mercia Inshore Search and Rescue.
