Welcome to the newborough village website
This website provides information on local community groups and businesses in Newborough. It is run by volunteers and funded by the Parish Council.
Newborough is a small rural village situated in East Staffordshire on the North West side of Needwood Forest, three miles South West of Hanbury and eight miles West of Burton-upon-Trent. The village with a population of approximately four hundred and fifty stands in a narrow dale, through which the River Swarbourne, a small rivulet, flows southward to the Trent. The custom, and art, of well dressing takes place in the village; three wells being decorated and blessed each year on May Day.
All Saints Church lies at the heart of the village opposite the village pub and the Old Bakers Cottage which now provides Bed and Breakfast.
The eastern side of the Parish is in the National Forest. Hollybush was once the seat of the local squires. The present largest landowner is now probably the Duchy of Lancaster.
