NOTE: By 1283, the Russell Family were the principal landowners (at Strensham), and
remained so for some four hundred years. There are many brasses and monuments to the
family inside the Church. In 1388, Sir John Russell was granted a license to create a
mansion house at Strensham, this almost certainly related to Strensham Castle, the
moated site to the west which probably survived until the English Civil War when it is
beleived have been destroyed. About this time, the Russells moved their residence to
Strensham Court at Over Strensham (now Upper Strensham) to the south, and it is around
this, that the current settlement is situated.
